The Philippine Men’s National Team welcomed the return of head coach Hans Michael Weiss with a 1-0 victory last Thursday 15 June 2023 at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium in Manila.
Jarvey Gayoso’s 49th minute winner was the lone difference in the match. Coming in as a shock first half substitute for winger Patrick Reichelt, the forward struck gold with a close ranged effort early on in the second half to claim his second international goal.
“I’m very happy to come back to the Philippines and to get a win,” said Weiss after the match. “It’s still a result, but I think in our next game we will be better.”
Goalkeeper Patrick Deyto also showed his brilliance on goal, producing a man of the match performance against the Nepalis.
The Philippines return to action on Monday with another friendly match, this time against Chinese Taipei at 7:00 PM.
