FINAL SCORE: Pakistan 3:2 Philippines on penalties after going to extra time when they drew 1:1. Pakistan go through to semi finals!
6:32 PM - 4 Apr 2014
After full time and extra time, the sides were locked 1-1, forcing the game to go to penalties. Pakistani boys stepped up to spot and converted three of their kicks. Philippines could only score two of their penalties.
The Pakistani team have been dominating the SCWC. Previously, they beat Kenya 2-0 in their second match of the tournament.
Azad Foundation official Ali Bilgrami, who is currently with the team in Brazil, said that the players have gained confidence with their second win in the tournament.
“In our match against Kenya, the opponents kept blocking and manhandling Abdul Raziq who scored eight goals for us in the previous match,” Bilgrami told The Express Tribune.
“But our players are very fast and Aurangzeb scored brilliant goals for the team. Our players are more confident now, and I hope this tournament and experience in Brazil will remain with them for the rest of their lives.”
The SCWC is featuring 20 teams. The event aims to provide an identity to street children all over the world.
On Friday evening, Twitter was ablaze with many supporters and fans taking to the social media site to show their support.
Pakistan will go head-to-head with the US in the semi-finals on Saturday, April 5.

RIO DE JANEIRO: The Pakistan Street Child football team on Friday reached the semi-finals of the Street Child World Cup (SCWC) after defeating Philippines on penalties.
The game was forced into a penalty shootout after full-time and extra-time failed to break the 1-1 deadlock between the two teams.
The Pakistani side eventually emerged victorious after scoring three penalties as opposed to the two the Philippines managed to score.
The Pakistani team have been very successful in the SCWC tournament which is being held in Brazil.
Previously they had defeated Kenya 2-0 in their second match of the tournament.
The SCWC brings together some of the most disadvantaged youths from 19 countries for 10 days of football, art, sightseeing and workshops.
The Pakistan team was sent to the World Cup by Azad Foundation, British Council and Unicef.
The Amos Trust, a British non-profit organisation, convinced football's governing body FIFA to initiate the Street Child World Cup in 2010.
The first edition was held in South Africa ahead of the 2010 World Cup and featured Brazil, South Africa, Nicaragua, Ukraine, India, the Philippines, Tanzania and a team from England.
