Alas Pilipinas Men fumble against Vietnam to finish 4th in SEA V.League Leg 2

Alas Pilipinas Men finished outside the podium again as they absorbed a 23-25, 25-21, 17-25, 15-22 loss to Vietnam to close out their campaign in SEA V. League Leg 2 on Sunday in Indonesia. The Filipinos made a gallant Set 2 win, but succumbed in the endgame following a massive closing run from the Vietnamese. The Philippines ended its campaign at the fourth spot with a 1-3 card while Vietnam is already assured of at least a bronze medal with a 3-1 record. Alas kept Vietnam at bay early in the fourth with rising power opposite hitter Leo Ordiales scoring back-to-back points on an attack and block to send the Philippines to a slim 8-7 lead. Vietnam, however, slowly established a separation when Thanh Hai Nguyen and Ngoc Thuan Nguyen brought Vietnam to a 12-9 cushion. The world no. 61 Vietnam then followed it with a 4-3 rampage capped by an attack error from Jade Disquitado as they zoomed to a 16-12 lead. Peng Taguibolos' quick play saw the Philippines pulling to within four, 14-18, but Vietnam rode on a strong close-out act with Thanh Hai Nguyen unleashing another kill from the middle to send them to the match point, 24-15. Hiep Pham punctuated Vietnam's commanding fourth-set display with a sharp push from the right side, leaving the Philippines defense in disarray. Later, host Indonesia and three-time gold medalist Thailand will duke it out for the top spot. Currently, the Indonesians are unbeaten with a 3-0 card while the Thais hold a 2-1 slate. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Mark Magsayo, Eumir Marcial score wins on Pacquiao vs Barrios undercard

Former featherweight world champion Mark Magsayo and Eumir Marcial opened the night with wins for Team Philippines on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao vs Mario Barrios match on Sunday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Magsayo, 30, went to work for ten rounds against Jorge Mata in a bout that showcased his hand speed and flashy combinations. Mata fought fire with fire all night, but was outgunned by the Filipino en route to a unanimous decision in favor of Magsayo. The victory improved Magsayo's professional boxing record to 28-2 with 18 knockouts. Marcial, meanwhile, did not go to the scorecards when he took on the outmatched Bernard Joseph in an eight-round contest. The Filipino Olympian threw punches with bad intentions all night, ending the fight in a third-round technical knockout to improve his record to 6-0 with 4 knockouts. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
