After a 0-1 defeat in game 1 of their two-game match on Saturday night at the same venue, the Pinay futsal players came in prepared and beat Guam with their solid defense and smooth offense.
Earlier, in their first game, with 4:13 left, Koharu Minato of Guam scored the game's lone goal on a dangerous counter attack to give the visitors victory.
The Filipinas made several attempts at the Guam goal to recover, but it was simply not meant to be.
Futsal is an association football-based game played on a hard court, smaller than a football pitch, and mainly indoors.
It has similarities to five-a-side football and indoor soccer.
Futsal is played between two teams of five players, one of them is the goalkeeper.
Unlimited substitutions are permitted.
Unlike some other forms of indoor soccer, it is played on a hard court surface marked by lines; walls or boards are not used.
It is played with a smaller, harder, lower-bounce ball than a football.
The surface, ball, and rules favor ball control and passing in small spaces.
The game emphasizes control, improvisation, creativity, and technique.(Romeo Braceros Jr.)
