Cebu: Pakistan’s KRL (Khan Research Laboratories) scored a second-half penalty to draw 1-1 with AFC President’s Cup powerhouse Dordoi as Group B of the 2013 edition’s group stage kicked-off on Wednesday.
Dordoi, champions twice and runners-up on four occasions, took a 23rd minute lead at the Cebu City Sports Centre through midfielder Vadim Kharchenko only for KRL to draw level five minutes into the second half courtesy of Samar Ishaq’s successfully converted penalty.
KRL will be looking to build on their impressive draw with the eight-time champions of Kyrgyzstan on Friday when they face Global FC, the first team to represent the Philippines in the nine-year history of the competition, while Dordoi will be hoping to have too much in their arsenal for Bhutan’s Yeedzin in their second Group B fixture.
