First Half: Tabinas Breaks the Deadlock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The opening stages were competitive, with both teams looking to establish control in midfield. Myanmar defended resolutely for much of the first half, frustrating the Philippines’ attacking efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the breakthrough finally arrived in first-half stoppage time. Defender Jefferson Tabinas<\/strong> rose to the occasion, finding the back of the net in the 45+2nd minute after a well-worked move involving Alexis Leipold<\/strong>. The goal gave the hosts a deserved 1-0 advantage heading into the halftime break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Half: Philippines Turn on the Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Philippines emerged from the dressing room with renewed energy and quickly extended their lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just nine minutes into the second half, Paul Tabinas<\/strong> doubled the advantage after being set up by Christian Mrowka<\/strong>, making it 2-0 and putting Myanmar under serious pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goals continued to flow as the match entered its final stages. In the 80th minute, Sebastian Rasmussen<\/strong> added a third goal following excellent work from Santiago Woods<\/strong>, effectively putting the contest beyond reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myanmar managed a consolation goal two minutes later through Win Naing Tun<\/strong>, briefly giving their supporters something to cheer about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Philippines was not finished. Alexis Leipold<\/strong> got on the scoresheet in the 89th minute after an assist from Patrick Bugas<\/strong>, before Rasmussen completed his brace in stoppage time with another clinical finish, once again assisted by Bugas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
