Stallion FC reached for the moon and
came up with the stars. Overcoming the unavailability of their head coach, the suspension
of their top striker, and the pressure of needing a win and a bunch of goals,
the Iloilo-based eleven put the big hurt on Cebu Queen City United FC with a
telling 8-0 win at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium last Saturday.
After last weekend’s 2-nil loss to
Pachanga, Stallion worked their Korean connection to perfection as they picked
apart the Cebuano team with seamless passing and clinical finishing.
With Korean Pee Hyung Eun taking over
the coaching chores for the second straight match because of the absence of
head coach Ernie Nierras who was in Laos for the Asean Football Federation
Women’s Championship, Stallion ran a compact 442 formation that choked the life
out of the ground passing game of Cebu Queen City.
Then they began raiding their opponent
from the wings.

Air Force
strafes Navy for six goals for 2nd win

Rizal Memorial Football Stadium
Philippine Air Force FC launched a
surgical strike on Philippine Navy FC and the Airmen came away with a 6-2 win
in UFL Cup action at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium yesterday.
In the first inter-service clash of the
UFL Cup, the Airmen, runners up to Global FC in the inaugural cup competition of
last season, took control of the match towards the end of the first half when
they swung their attack to the right wing where Navy’s defense was less
compact.
Navy threw four defenders – Stephen
Burda, Rolly Perez, PJ Fadrigalan, and Loreto Kalalang – at the right wing
where they repeatedly forced striker Ian Araneta and midfielder Chieffy
Caligdong to cough up the ball with their 1-2 touch passing. Swinging over to
the right, midfielder Jeruzel Tonog found Araneta on a quick counter. The
veteran national player turned and fired a shot past Navy keeper Martin
Alcantara.
Now finding the gap in Navy’s
defensive alignment, Air Force repeated the right wing attack and Tonog sent
another cross this time to Caligdong whose cracking volley beat Alcantara.
