Chieffy Caligdong scored twice in the game to lead the Philippine Azkals to a 2-0 win over Macau Tuesday in the 2011 Long Teng Cup at the Kaohsiung National Stadium in Taiwan.
Caligdong scored in the 56th minute to break a scoreless tie and added the insurance goal in the 87th minute for the Azkals, who finished with five points behind one win and two draws.
Caligdong, rested due to injury, came on as a substitute after the goalless draw at halftime and inspired the Azkals to the two-goal victory.
The Azkals needed his creativity to break the deadlock and the man from Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo did not disappoint and quickly went to work two minutes into the second half with his shot attempt, after a trademark dribble and cutting from the wing, hitting the post.
Caligdong, left unmarked, opened the scoring in the 58th minute. Mark Hartmann delivered a quality free-kick which the 29-year-old Philippine Air Force FC member tried to convert into the Azkals' first goal.

Caligdong's first attempt hit the goalkeeper before scoring on the rebound.
It took until the 87th minute for him to double his tally and the Azkals' lead with Hartmann again the origin of the play. Caligdong took Hartman's pass off his chest before drilling past the despairing goalkeeper.

He could have had a hat-trick in injury time when Phil Younghusband played in the left winger who blazed over from only a few yards out with the ball bouncing up cruelly. Caligdong's two goals took him clear at the top of the leading scorers in the Long Teng Cup
