Stephan Schrock admits it’s an ‘emotional day’ after losing his final match for the country as the Philippine Azkals crash out of the AFF Championship.
MANILA, Philippines – It was a heartbreaking end to Stephan Schröck’s international career as the Philippine Azkals yielded to Indonesia, 2-1, to end their campaign in the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup on Monday, January 2, at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila.
With the loss, the Azkals bowed out at fourth place in Group A with 3 points and -2 goal difference. Marselino Ferdinan Philipus then doubled Indonesia’s advantage at the 43’ mark as he drilled in a right-footed shot inside the penalty box following a quick one-two with Saddil Ramdani. “Obviously we wanted to win for our last group stage game before we finish this tournament, I think we gave a good fight,” said Schröck. “I just have nothing but respect for everyone who showed up, prepared, motivated, and with passion, and committed,” he said.
Schröck noted the importance of having young players as their exposure will surely benefit the team in the future.
