Tahnai Annis opened the floodgates for the Philippines when she got past Anjila Subba in the 90th minute to equalize. Super sub Camille Wilson then converted shortly in added time (90+2') to complete the turnaround for the Filipinas. They thus gave returning head coach Marlon Maro his first win since his return to the national team earlier this year. The Philippines play their second game in Group F when they face Hong Kong on Friday, September 24.
