The Filipinas rallied after Myanmar seized a 1-0 lead on Win Theigi Tun's penalty kick in the 23rd minute.
Bolden then struck the equalizer in the 73rd to get things going for the Filipinas, before Quinley Quezada clinched the winning goal in the 76th.

The Philippines entered the Games looking for gold, but they couldn't overcome Thailand in a 3-0 loss in the semis.
The last time the country medaled in SEA Games football was in 1985 during a 3-team single-round competition.
