Bacolod City: Rimyongsu remained undefeated in their first AFC President’s Cup campaign with Ri Hyok-chol equalising a minute after Suleyman Muhadov had broken the deadlock to earn the North Korean debutants a 1-1 draw with FC HTTU in the second round of Group B matches.
After scoring both goals in HTTU’s 2-0 opening day win over Chinese Taipei’s Tatung Company, Muhadov bagged his third goal of the campaign with ten minutes of Thursday’s clash at the Panaad Stadium remaining.
However, Ri restored parity just 60 seconds later as Rimyongsu picked up their second point of the campaign after twice coming from behind to draw 2-2 with hosts Ceres La Salle in the Group curtain raiser on Tuesday.

Botta e risposta nell’arco di un minuto tra Rimyongsu e HTTU Aşgabat, nella seconda giornata della President’s Cup 2014.
Al gol di Muhadov all’80’ ha immediatamente risposto Ri Hyok Chol all’81’.
I coreani salgono a 2 punti e si giocheranno la qualificazione nell’ultimo turno contro il Tatung di Taipei, che oggi pomeriggio sfida il Ceres.

Bacolod City: Ri Kwang-hyok bagged a brace as Rimyongsu twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Group B hosts Ceres La Salle on Tuesday in what was the first appearance of a North Korean club in the AFC President’s Cup.
Cheered on by almost 6000 fans at the Panaad Stadium it was the home side that took the early initiative when Spain-born Philippines international defender Juan Guirado, who is on loan at Ceres from Spanish Tercera Division side CD Burgos, opened the scoring with just ten minutes played.
Ceres held the lead until six minutes before half-time when Ri, a two-time AFC Challenge Cup winner with DPR Korea, netted the equaliser to write his name in the history books as the first player to score for a North Korean club in the AFC President’s Cup.
Four minutes after the restart Ceres, who are coached by South Korean Cha Soung-yooung, regained the lead through Patrick Reichelt but for the second time in the match Ri was on hand to restore parity, with the 26-year-old forward scoring his and Rimyongsu’s second on the hour mark.

Due notizie, una scontata ed una attesa a sud del San Gottardo, dalla domenica del calcio di Divisione nazionale B: una doppietta di Manuel Sutter (38.o e 52.o) ed il goal di Kwang Ryong Pak (57.o) hanno dato oggi al Vaduz la certezza aritmetica della promozione, obiettivo in effetti conseguito già ieri sulla sconfitta interna dello Sciaffusa ad opera del Wil. Per la formazione del Liechtenstein un 3-0 sul Wohlen che pertanto rimane inchiodato al penultimo posto, con margine di due punti sul Locarno ed a quattro lunghezze dal Chiasso: nella lotta per la salvezza, dunque, le ticinesi possono ancora giocarsela, il calendario è tutt’altro che impossibile. Gli altri risultati: Locarno-Winterthur 2-2 (ieri); Lugano-Chiasso 2-0 (ieri); Sciaffusa-Wil 2-3 (ieri); Servette-BielBienne 2-1 (oggi). La classifica: Vaduz 72 punti; Sciaffusa, Wil 57; Lugano 55; Servette 52; Winterthur 40; BielBienne 32; Chiasso 28; Wohlen 24; Locarno 22.

MANILA, Philippines — Bracing for a tough campaign, reigning national club champion Ceres-La Salle bolstered its squad with the acquisition of two Philippine Azkals for the AFC President’s Cup from May 6 to 10 in Bacolod City.
The Bacolod-based side has tapped veteran defender Juani Guirado and ace goalkeeper Eduard Sacapano for the Group B hostilities at Panaad Stadium.

The two international veterans join former and current Azkals in the team, including Patrick Reichelt and Carli de Murga, who returned from a knee injury recently.

Defender Jason Sabio, who played a key role in the Azkals’ 2012 AFC Challenge Cup campaign, also signed a deal to play for Ceres together with Joshua Beloya and twins Marwin and Marvin Angeles who used to play for Global.
‘Strongest team possible’

“We take pride in representing the country, that’s why we’re forming the strongest team possible,” said Ceres owner Leorey Yanson.

Ceres is looking to become the first Philippine side to advance to the final round of the tournament.

But the Filipinos would have to hurdle North Korea’s Rimyongsu, Taiwan’s Tatung and Turkmenistan’s HTTU Agsabat in what is considered as the toughest group of the tournament.

Former Azkal Jason Cordova, Jason Panhay, Camelo Tacusalme, Jalsor Soriano, Arnie Pasinabo, Angelo Marasigan, J. Baguioro, Tom Booth, Michael Casas, Prince Anthony, William Guerridon and Lemuel Unabia are also in Ceres’ President’s Cup squad.

With only two foreigners allowed to play, Ceres coach Ali Go could tap South Koreans Kim Jin-ho and Kim Sang-min as the team’s reinforcements.
