Revenge will be the ultimate objective when the Azkals Development Team and the Mendiola FC 1991 collide in the Philippine Football League today at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
Action starts at 4 p.m. with both squads looking for a victory that will bury the heartaches they suffered in their previous matches.
Bannered by veteran Stephan Schrock, the core of the ADT crashed out in the AFC U20 Asian Cup Qualifiers two weeks ago in Oman.
After booking a 1-0 win over Afghanistan in the U20 Asian Cup, the ADT made a disastrous return to the PFL when it lost to Stallion Laguna last Saturday, 0-2.
Now, ADT holds a 1-1-2 win-loss-draw card and a victory over Mendiola will improve its standing heading into the crucial stretch.
Also craving for revenge is Mendiola, which is currently at sixth place with a 1-0-5 standing.
Mendiola suffered a 2-6 beating from the hands of Dynamic Cebu FC, prompting it to go all out when they face the ADT in their next match.
