Alexandria Enriquez added a silver medal to the Philippines' tally in the 20th Asian Games on Saturday, losing a tough final to Thailand's Orapa Senatham in the women's -63kg class in jiu jitsu.

Enriquez appeared poised to add a fifth gold to the country's haul after a stunning run that saw her win all her matches via submission en route to the gold medal match.

But she was frustrated by Senatham, who won via advantage to relegate the Filipina to the silver medal.

Another Filipina, Andrea Lao, missed out on the bronze after losing to Narankhishig Baasanjargal of Mongolia, 0-2, in the repechage.

The Philippines wound up with two medals from jiu jitsu — Enriquez's silver and a bronze courtesy of Kaila Napolis.
