The CF Internacional de Madrid scored a 3-1 victory over Azkals-UFL Alyansa in the Dili Kamo Nag-iisa Sendong Charity Game before a good crowd today at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium.
The third division Spanish team leaned on Rufino Familiar Sanchez and Daniel Garcia Fernandez in the first half to go ahead, 2-nil, against the local selection from the Philippine Azkals and the United Football League (UFL).
Sanchez scored on a penalty kick 15 minutes into the match while Fernandez doubled the lead in the 32nd minute.
Ignacio Buenache Feijoo made it 3-nil for the visitors just a minute into the second half. The Azkals Alyansa tried to keep up with the visitors and finally broke through the CFIM’s defense in the 62nd minute.
A beautiful cross from Chieffy Caligdong led to a header by James Younghusband to give the home fans something to cheer on in the charity match that will benefit the victims of Typhoon Sendong in Mindanao.
Prior to the match, fun games were played between fans and Azkals players while signed jerseys from football stars Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas and the entire Real Madrid squad were auctioned in Kaholeros Facebook fanpage. Aside from the autographed jerseys, the visiting Spanish team also donated 10,000 euros to the Sendong victims.
