Yangon: The Philippines joined Palestine in the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup finals after comprehensively beating Bangladesh 3-0 in their final qualifying Group A fixture on Friday.
The match at the Bogyoke Aung San Stadium was goalless until Philippines Air Force forward Ian Araneta lifted his side with the opener five minutes from the interval.
Spain-born forward Angel Guirado doubled the Philippines’ advantage ten minutes in the second half before the 26-year-old, who plays his club football for Malaga-based CD Ronda in Spain’s Tercera Division scored his second in the 80th minute, to seal the win that saw the ASEAN side finish undefeated following draws against hosts Myanmar (1-1) and fellow qualifiers Palestine (0-0).
