After an excellent display despite losing 1-0 to Korea Republic in their opening match, Philippines are back to face another of the tournament favourites in China PR in Group C of the AFC Asian Cup 2019.
Philippines created plenty of problems for the South Korean defence in their debut match in the continental championship, but the Azkals were unfortunate to go down to a second-half winner from Hwang Ui-jo.
Since the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, China PR have won each of their four AFC Asian Cup group stage matches – all by a one-goal margin. That was seen in the previous game as well, but this might be a tougher task against the Philippines.
For the first time ever, twenty-four nations will compete in the pan-Asian competition instead of the usual sixteen. As such two additional groups have been added and the two best teams from each group and the four best third-placed teams will progress in the tournament.
