The Younghusband siblings came up big in the Philippines' 2-2 draw with Yemen in Bacolod city on Tuesday night, as the Azkals remain unbeaten in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification phase.

Yemen's Al Radaei drew first blood in the 27th minute to push the guests ahead at Panaad Park and Football Stadium, but that lead was short-lived.

Three minutes later, Phil Younghusband equalized with a shot that sailed over the opposing goalkeeper.

In the 55th, Al Matari escaped the back line and got past Neil Etheridge's defense to put the Yemenis in front.

Good thing Manny Ott conspired with James Younghusband, whose header knotted the score in the 73rd.

Following wins over Nepal (4-1 in March) and Tajikistan (4-3 in June), the Azkals now have 7 points to lead Group F, 2 better than Yemen.

On Tuesday, the Philippines played without Javier Patiño and Daisuke Sato. Patiño is nursing an injury while Sato is serving a suspension.

The Azkals' next match is on October 10, when they head to Al-Wakrah city in Qatar to battle Yemen.
