Filipinas gain WAC quarters
Mark Torcaso
PFF HANDOUT

MANILA, Philippines —  With a big helping hand from Japan, the Filipinas advanced to the quarterfinals of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup in Australia and stayed in chase for a ticket to next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup.

But the Japanese, themselves, are standing in the way of the Pinay booters’ bid to move forward to the semifinals and consequently book a direct entry to the global showpiece set in Brazil.

The troops of coach Mark Torcaso battle the Nadeshiko Japan on Sunday in Sydney.
