The Philippines and Tajikistan will battle for three points in a 2027 Asian Cup qualifier on Tuesday (June 10th). The game will be played at the Rizai Memorial Stadium.
The home side will be looking to build on the 4-1 home win they registered over Maldives in the qualifiers last time out in March 2025. They were two goals ahead at the break thanks to goals from Jefferson David Tabinas and Bjorn Kristensen. Ali Fasir pulled one back for the visitors just past the hour-mark while Randy Schneider and Sandro Reyes scored to complete the rout.
Tajikistan, meanwhile, prepared for this game with a 2-1 win over Cambodia in a friendly last week. All three goals were scored in the second half, with Shakhrom Samiev and Ekhson Pandzhshanbe scoring for Tajikistan while Ratanak Min pulled one back.
