After their defeat at the hands of the South Korean team in a gruelling 1-0 match, the Philippines team left their mark in another way last night.
The stalwart team not only cleaned their locker rooms before leaving the Al Maktoum stadium, they also left a message for their hosts on their social media account:

On a whiteboard propped against a column, the message reads: "Thank you Dubai! From Team Philippines 'The Azkals'".
Two bubble hearts frame the message on either side. 
Hwang Uijo's goal gave South Korea a hard-fought 1-0 win over debutants Philippines in a Group C encounter of the AFC Asian Cup at the magnificent Al Maktoum stadium on Monday.
