Roy Canete provided the early goals for the Filipinos, gaining a much momentum and followed by Mummar Alamar and once again, Canete goal to grab a 4-1 cushion after a fightback by Thailand’s Kirasit Patarathitina.

Patarathitina, however, responded quickly by another goal to set the pace for the Thais but Reynaldo Salonga and Canete didn’t give any chance for their counterparts to fightback as they deal a major damage against the Thailand team with 7-3 lead entering the final stretch of the match.

The Philippines will next face Malaysia on Wednesday. | Tretch Melarpes – PTV #SEAG2017PH
