A late effort by Javier Mariona was tipped away by the Laos &#x27;keeper as well.&quot;We didn’t attack well. We were very predictable with so many players behind the ball,&quot; lamented PH coach Albert  Capellas. &quot;We  weren’t  brave  enough  to  move  the  ball  quicker and  to  play in  between  the lines, and  for  that  I’m  disappointed  because,  I  know my  team can play better.&quot;Much like they did against Myanmar, the Philippines dominated possession and had more attacks on target, but lacked the finishing touch in the final third.As it stands, the Philippines has two points on two draws in Group B heading into their match against powerhouse Vietnam on December 18 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
