Azkals defeats Global 3-1 with a Mark Hartmann Hat-Trick

by Mikhail de Guzman on September 12, 2011

A hat-trick from Loyola FC and U23 striker Mark Hartmann was enough for the national team to see off Global FC in their friendly at Pana-ad Stadium in Bacolod, Sunday afternoon.

Missing regulars such as skipper Aly Borromeo and vice skipper Chieffy Caligdong and the Younghusband brothers, who rushed back to Manila due to a family emergency, the national team were still able to notch a win against the UFL club who had U23 defender Jerry Barbaso in their lineup as well as goalkeeper Paolo Pascual manning the posts for Global.

Hartmann scored twice in the first half, and completed his hat-trick in the second half. Ange Tressor Guiso of Global grabbed the consolation courtesy of a spot kick.

The Azkals' next friendly will be on Tuesday, September 13, against the reigning PFF-Suzuki U23 Champions Ceres-Negros at the Pana-ad Stadium.
