UAAP Football - FEU dismantles UST’s twice-to-beat edge, wins football crown
Rookie Dexter Chio made up for the absence of Far Eastern University’s (FEU) top striker as the Tamaraws took home the 72nd UAAP men’s football crown, defeating University of Santo Tomas (UST), 1-0, Sunday at the Ateneo field.
Chio, a rookie from Cotabato, scored home the championship-winning goal in the 75th minute, volleying a deflection into the back of the net just outside the penalty box.
FEU played without its top scorer, former national team mainstay Jason Cordova, who served his suspension after getting two yellow cards and an automatic ejection in the first game of the championship.
The Tamaraws also overcame the Tigers’ twice-to-beat advantage entering the finals series.
“This is a great championship for us. Even though we have three players missing, we got the title," said FEU coach Rodolfo Alicante, referring to veterans Jason Almenar and Romnick Jover who were likewise canned after being issued with two yellow cards in the first game.
Cordova scored in the Tamaraws’ 1-0 win over the Tigers Thursday to send the series into a rubber match.
Alicante said the early preparation did wonders for the Tamaraws, who last won the title in 2008, breaking a 28-year-spell.
Jake Hugo led the list of Tamaraws who won individual awards bagging the Most Valuable Player (MVP) honors. Cordova won the Best Scorer plum while Francis Gustilo bagged the Best Midfielder trophy. Ronnie Aguisanda won the Best Goalkeeper accolade also for the Tamaraws.
David Basa of UST was adjudged as the season’s Best Defender.
It was truly a redemption for the Tamaraws, who lost last season’s crown to University of the Philippines (UP) despite enjoying a twice-to-beat advantage in the finals. -

WV rules CHED football; DMCCF in best finish
Russel Venia of DMC College Foundation and Joven Bedic (8) of Region VI scramble for ball possession during the final match in men’s football at the ULTRA football field.
MANILA, Philippines - Heavy favorite Western Visayas foiled Zamboanga Peninsula’s bid for a Cinderella finish, eking out a 2-1 victory in football action even as National Capital Region kept its dominating performance in the 2010 CHED National Games yesterday.
Joven Bedic delivered the goals – the first in the 35th minute and the other in the 54th – as Region VI, represented by West Negros U, staved off the tough challenge of Dipolog Medical Center College Foundation, a small school near a fishing village in Zamboanga del Norte.
“It was tough. We collapsed in the second half but we hung on to win, which is what mattered,” said Western Visayas coach Norman Fegidero, a former RP team mainstay.
Michael Atienza, a 22-year-old graduating nursing student, gave DMCCF some ray of hope as he rolled in a goal on the 74th minute. He looked headed for another one few plays later only to miscalculate a kick that sailed a few inches out of the left post.
West Negros striker Michael Pacite drew a red card, but Zamboanga failed to take advantage, thus, losing the match in this event backed by Philippine Sports Commission chair Harry Angping, Smart, San Miguel Corp., AMA and STI.
Zamboanga’s British coach Reginald Jukes questioned the penalty shot given Bedic, enabling Western Visayas to draw first blood.
“It wasn’t a penalty. It should have been 0-0 going into the break,” said the 64-year-old Jukes, based in the country for a decade now with his Filipina wife Maria.
“But there’s nothing to be ashamed of. We gave it our all and you saw what happened,” he added.
“We’re just a small school near a fishing village but we came out with a strong effort and nearly won it. This is our best finish in any competition the school participated,” said proud DMCCF owner Albert Concha.

THE battle for athletic supremacy between University of Santo Tomas (UST) and Far Eastern University (FEU) is not just limited to volleyball this season.
This came as both teams nipped separate rivals recently at the Erenchun Field inside Ateneo campus.

UP, which holds a 2-6-1 card, dropped out of the championship race after the UAAP board nullified three of its games.
The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) football technical board penalized UP after finding out that two of its players – Ghanaian Ayi Nii Aryee and Nathaniel De Guzman – played for the United Football League (UFL) this UAAP season. The board said State U’s move was a violation to the UAAP by-laws.
In the last game, De La Salle and University of the East settled to a 1-1 draw.

Moving on, in the picture above, I don't know how you can call a tourney successful when you drew the opposing side. And what they left off that article was how our national team lost 2-1 to a college team in Taipei (that had six national players) and hardly practiced for the match. In basketball, the nationals lost to a team of actors and the whole NSA blew up. I'm not trying to put the team down, but the PFF and whoever wrote this should be a little more accurate. They still have not addressed the issue of the Fil-fors flying in only before a tournament. Kinda hard to work on chemistry and teamwork when you only have half a team then the locals are relegated to the training pool.
And then there's this guy. There are rumors swirling about this guy but I won't get into that. But this statement I will. Evaluation of the Football Associations? Mr. Tsai, start with the PFF's backyard before you deign to begin this housecleaning of yours. And who are you? You show up all of a sudden or is it this long association you have with the NSA President. And "eliminate the bad grass?" That is an implied threat to those who have questioned your president and his lack of transparency and poor management. And there's that "God" statement. Please refrain from that especially in such a controversial sports association. It belies a messianic complex even if you allude to your success in life. I should remind you that in Nazi Germany, the Wehrmacht had inscribed on their belt buckles -- "Gott mit uns." Translated, that means, "God is with us."

World Cup coverage may help RP football
By FRANCIS SANTIAGO
Marielle Benitez, captain of the women’s national football team, strongly believes that the country’s first-ever live TV coverage of the FIFA World Cup in South, Africa starting this June, will be the momentum the sport needs to gain more popularity in the local scene.
Balls, a dedicated 24-hour channel aired on SkyCable 34 and Studio 23, TV stations owned by ABS-CBN, has been granted by FIFA the local coverage of the prestigious tournament, and Benitez thinks this will be a great opportunity for football, the world’s No. 1 sport, to draw more interest in a country which has basketball as its top sport.
“For football players like me, it’s going to be exciting. This will be one way of reaching out to more people and get them into the World Cup fever,” Benitez, a three-time UAAP MVP and member of the RP futsal squad, said during a press conference.

UST earns first UAAP football finals berth
MANILA, Philippines – University of Santo Tomas (UST) booked its first trip to the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) men’s football finals with a 3-0 shutout of Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU).
Rookie wonder Christian de Juan continued his stellar play, breaking the ice with a goal just 8 minutes into the game at the Erenchun Field in Ateneo last Sunday. It was the 5th goal in the tournament for the league’s scoring leader.
UST veterans Mario Clarino and Mandie Lunag came up with a goal each in the 2nd half to put the game away. Clarino scored on the 68th minute then Lunag followed in the 72nd minute as the Growling Booters clinched their first finals appearance since winning the crown in 2007.
UST, which is now sporting a 6-2-0 (win-draw-loss) record for 20 points, can clinch a twice-to-beat edge in the finals with a win on Thursday against Far Eastern University (FEU).
Ateneo, meanwhile, dropped in the standings with its 5th loss against 2 wins and 1 draw for just 7 points.
In the other games, FEU recovered from a 0-1 deficit to beat University of the Philippines (UP), 2-1, while De La Salle University (DLSU) beat University of the East (UE), 1-0.
Jason Cordova and Ronnie Aguisanda scored 2 goals in the 69th minute and 83rd minute, respectively, as FEU moved closer to a date with UST in the finals.
FEU, which improved to 5-1-2 for 16 points, would have to beat UST on Thursday to advance.
DLSU, meanwhile, leaned on Nico Laudes’ goal in the 63rd minute to pull off the 1-point victory over UE.
Collision course
In the distaff side, DLSU drew with FEU, 1-1, to keep its unbeaten slate and more importantly, move closer to a 3rd straight finals appearance.
Maria Monica Henson’s goal in the 29th minute pushed the Lady Archers on the threshold of another victory. FEU, however, equalized with Loreta Ladero’s goal in the 43rd minute.
Both teams traded missed attempts in the 2nd half to end up with a stalemate.
Despite the draw, DLSU still leads the tournament with 15 points on the strength of a 4-3-0 record while FEU dropped to 2-4-0 for 10 points.
UST, meanwhile, remained in the title hunt with a 6-0 crushing of Ateneo. Marianne Narciso exploded for 4 goals to pace the second-leading UST.
DLSU and UST are on a big collision course on Thursday. DLSU can book its third consecutive finals trip with a win while UST, which holds a 4-1-2 (13 points) record, can catch them with a victory. – by Alder T. Almo

RP sees action in ASEAN futsal qualifiers
The Philippines seeks to duplicate the achievement it made back in 2007 when it sends a 12-man team to the AFC Futsal Championship 2010 Qualifiers-ASEAN Zone from February 20 to 25 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
“This team is determined to do well. The players practice Monday to Saturday and with some luck, we will be able to advance into the tournament proper," said RP coach Esmaeil Mahmound Sedigh, an Iranian who has been in the country for the last 14 years.
Sedigh himself called the shots in 2007 and will bring back three players from that team in Ariel Zerrudo Jr., Fil-Iranian Peyman Cabarrus Nejadsavi and Ali Bernard Rojas Go.
Zerrudo was the hero in the 2007 standoff with Tajikistan as he accounted for all the goals scored, helping the nationals fight back from a 0-2 halftime deficit.
Sedigh said this team has the potential to excel in the tournament in which the top three teams will advance into the 16-team tournament proper.
“This team played in the last ASEAN Futsal Championship and we finished fourth overall. We were beaten by just one goal by Indonesia (4-3) in our battle for third place," beamed Sedigh who also handles the futsal development program of the Philippine Football Federation.
Completing the RP team to the ASEAN Zone Qualifying are Misagh Medina Bahadoran, Ricardo Batayola Bacite III, Bongbong Roxy Vestidas Dorlas, Alexander Elnar, Hamidreza Geshniziani, Jay-Ar Inventor, Navid Khorasani, Jerome Stefan Leung and Edward Mallari.
The team departs for Jakarta on February 18 and will plunge into action two days later against Malaysia.
Bracketed in Group A, the nationals next take on Vietnam on the 21st before winding up their elimination campaign against Cambodia on the 22nd.
Group B is made up of Australia, Indonesia and Myanmar.
The top two teams in their respective groups will advance to the crossover semifinals. The two finalists will earn berths to the AFC meet while the semis losers will fight for third place and the last ticket to Uzbekistan.
The RP futsal team is competing in the qualifiers not only to land a place in the AFC tourney but also to earn a possible ticket to the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.
“We have all the chances to win in the Asian Games. We just have to give this team the chance to compete," said Sedigh, whose wards earlier failed to convince the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) to let them carry the country’s colors in last year’s Southeast Asian Games in Laos. -

PFF coaches join int’l training
Philippine Football Federation regional technical director for Visayas John Carmona of San Carlos City and national team coach Aris Caslib recently attended a three-day Technical Directors Course in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Carmona and Caslib were among the licensed football coaches from the southeast invited to the ASEAN Football Federations-Frend Football Fededation Technical Directors Course
Carmona, who also pioneered the San Carlos City Football Club, said the training was conducted to update and raise the level of football in the southeast region. The Course was conducted by former Liverpool Manager and France Football Federation executive Gerard Houllier.
One of the topics discussed during the training was the evolution of the modern game, Carmona said, as participants noted that football is played faster in the modern times.
Aside from getting faster, the game has become forward oriented and emphasis was given to quick transition on defence and attack, he said, adding that national teams and even collegiate teams should know and adapt to these new trends.
Also stressed during the three-day training is the transformation of today’s players into coaches of tomorrow. The training instructor underscored the value of coaches and the development of players to higher level of competition, Carmona said.*NAB

UE responded with two straight goals courtesy of Gringo Bravo at 27th minute and Reginald Gomez at 43rd minute to seize the edge at halftime, 2-1, after UST’s Mario Clarino’s goal at the 19th minute mark.
But mid-fielder Mandie Lunag rescued the University of Santo Tomas Golden Booters from first loss by firing two successive goals in the 51st minute and 63rd minute mark to regain the lead and the Red Booters did not recover.
With the win, UST improved its log to 5-0-2 win-loss-draw for a league-leading 17 points, while UE ended its finals bid after dropping to 1-6-0 card for three points at the bottom of team standings.
De La Salle University, under mentor Hans Smit, kept its flickering finals bid alive by outlasting host Ateneo De Manila University, 2-0, to improve to 2-4-1 win-loss-draw card for 7 points in the event supported by Mizuno and Ateneo.

Baguio Football - Ifugao, Benguet to test Baguio in football
By Ramon Dacawi
HOST Ifugao and two-bracket defending champion Benguet will have to beat twice Baguio City to win the twin championships in boys football Friday morning at the Lagawe Central School grounds here.
Ifugao eliminated Benguet, 1-0, to forge the championship match with Baguio in the elementary bracket.
The host squad succumbed to the city, 0-1, in their initial encounter Monday and will have to avenge that loss to arrange a third and final encounter Benguet, however, blanked Abra, 4-0, to keep alive its title-retention bid in the high school division, also under a two-to-beat advantage for Baguio which topped the double elimination series without a loss in the two brackets.
Abra coach Judy Tacis accepted defeat with 11 more minutes to go, after Benguet striker Allan Fuchigami drove in a couple of grounders, which doubled his team’s 2-0 first half lead.
As with Ifugao in the elementary level, Benguet’s high school eleven took a 0-1 loss in the hands of Baguio in the preliminaries, its only defeat so far.

Baguio Football - City barges into football finals
By Ramon Dacawi
BAGUIO’S high school soccer football squad stunned defending champion Benguet with a lone match goal late in the second half to barge into the final.
Also its elementary counterpart scored a similar 1-0 victory against host Ifugao to also stay on track on Day 3 of the Cordillera regional games here.
Striker Domingo Sayan exploited Benguet’s weakening defense with a blast to the left side of the goal with two minutes to go to keep intact Baguio’s 2-0, win-loss streak in the double elimination format among five teams.
The city opened up Monday with a 4-0 trouncing of Mt. Province while Benguet downed Ifugao, 2-1, to forge their match for the first championship berth at the Lagawe Central School.
Benguet will face the winner of this morning’s game between Ifugao and Abra to determine Baguio’s challenger from the losers’ bracket in the final game Thursday morning.
That team must beat the city twice.
The city’s elementary boys edged Abra, 2-1 on Monday but found the defense of the host division harder to puncture up to the middle of the second half. That was when mid-fielder Jerome Amendy scored with a looping goal, a few seconds after teammate Jacob Shawn Gomez’s attempt was deflected by Ifugao goalkeeper Lance Maddul.

Cebu Football - QCU-B dethrones USC in Thirsty Cup football
CEBU, Philippines - The Queen City United Football Club–B weaved one big surprise after it dethroned early title favorite University of San Carlos (USC) to capture the men’s open championship of the 7th Thirsty Cup football tournament the other day at the Cebu City Sports Center.
The Jose Mari Colmenares-mentored Queen City United FC-B tamed USC, 1-0, courtesy of the game-killing goal of Masahiko Yagi.
During the early minutes of the game, QCU and USC both employed tight defense resulting into a scoreless draw at halftime. As the match progressed, Martin Bontia issued a nifty assist to Yagi at the center area. Yagi succeeded in punching a goal via upper center kick to the delight of his comrades and the small throng of well-wishers.
“The game was so unpredictable. We were not expecting at first that we will get the title since we’re facing the defending champions. But when we scored a goal by Yagi, it served as the morale-booster of the team to strengthen their defense so as not to allow USC to score,” said Colmenares.
“The fight was really good and the players had a great performance since we practice thrice a week and they just came from the Aboitiz Cup. I guess they’re really conditioned for this tournament. We prayed and worked hard for this,” Colmenares added.
Queen City United FC proceeded into the final round after booting out Don Bosco Alumni Football Club, while USC advanced after terminating Philippine Army.
On the other hand, the visiting teams from Dumaguete City and Iligan reigned supreme in the ladies open and 36-above classes, respectively.
Dumaguete’s Foundation University Football Club secured the ladies open tiara after outlasting University of St. La Salle (USLS)- Bacolod, 1-0, while Iligan FC nipped the JCAD-sponsored San Roque booters, 2-1, to bag the 36-above crown. (FREEMAN NEWS)

Cebu Football - Still in the hunt (Thirsty Cup)
By Edri K. Aznar
DEFENDING champion University of San Carlos (USC) survived the first round of the tournament as it entered the round-of-16 of the Men’s Open division in the 7th Thirsty Football Cup after knocking out San Roque FC (SRFC).
USC edged out SRFC, 1-0, following a lone goal by ace striker Kyle Soriano.
Soriano banged in the rebound from point-blank range in the ninth minute after the first shot bounced off the SRFC keeper.
However, yesterday’s contest came at a cost to them as their keeper Paolo Pascual got injured during their morning game.
Pascual, who was the starting keeper for the Philippines’ Under 19 team last year, dislocated his right clavicle after getting crushed by a striker in a scramble.
The other teams that advanced to the round-of-16 were Queen City United (QCU) A, QCU B, Don Bosco Alumni C, Don Bosco Alumni D, Consolacion FC, San Roque Royal United, Vudu A, Jcad, Toledo FC, Leyte FC, Team 53, Magone FC, Boys High, Tsuneishi and Uptown United.
The round-of-16, as well as the quarterfinals, semifinals and championship matches were set to be played late last night.
On the other hand, Rodney Orale’s newly-formed team, Samareno-Erco, added another crown to its winning run in the Cebu football scene as it won the 40-and-Above division after beating Consolacion United FC, 1-0.
Former national team member Glenn Ramos scored the only goal of the game for Samareño-Erco in the finals.
Samareño-Erco also won the 38-and-Above category of the recently finished Aboitiz Football Cup.
Defending champion Paref-Springdale retained its title in the Players 10 division after beating Don Bosco Yellow, 3-2, in a penalty shootout.
Paref-Springdale earned a slot in the finals after edging out Giuseppe FC, 2-1, while Don Bosco Technology Center (DBTC) Yellow defeated sister team Don Bosco White, 1-0, in the semifinal round.
DBTC had more luck in the younger divisions as it grabbed the crown in the Boys 17 category after crushing visiting Foundation University, 3-0.
Giuseppe FC also bagged the trophy of the Girls 17 division after escaping through a 1-0 penalty shootout thriller over Sta. Rita.

By Charles Raymond A. Maxey
DAVAO City's young football players take center stage anew when the 1st Sakya Fil-Chinese Football Festival that will kick off on February 13 at the Tionko grounds.
Michelle Uy, team manager of the organizing Philippine Academy of Sakya Football Club, said Sunday that competing in the one-day tournament are the city's different schools.
Confirming their participation thus far are the Atene de Davao University, Abbas Montessori, Southpoint and Philippine Women's College (PWC), according to Uy.
The event, which is one of the activities to highlight the Chinese New Year on December 14, will have the boys 16, boys 14, boys and girls 12, boys and girls 10, mixed 8 and mixed 6 categories. Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers.
Uy said they are staging the tournament to help in the development of football in Davao City and to show to everyone that the sport is alive among the Chinese community.
"We are here to support football and we also want to prove that even if we don't have a field, we can play and excel in the sport," Uy said.
She said the support extended by the parents of the players really contributed a lot in their quest to help develop the sport in their school and transform the children into better players.
The Sakya Football Club was formed just last year and already the team has improved a lot under the supervision of Uy and Mary Tan, her co-manager.
Sakya FC competed in the 2009 Alaska Cup, the prestigious annual football tournament among the country's junior booters, and in the Rizal Football Cup and De La Salle Zobel Football Festival wherein it placed third in the boys 10.
In the coming festival, Sakya FC will compete in the 6, 8 and 10 categories. The team is mentored by Alex Adolfo.
Meanwhile, Davao Football Association general secretary Erwin Protacio said the tournament offers limited slots, thus, teams are encouraged to sign up early. Registration fee for category is P300 and deadline for submission of entries is 3 p.m. on February 10.

Pages: Why the 7th Thirsty Cup scores a kick
By : John Pages
FOOTBALL is popular in Cebu. This I learned the past 36 hours. When I entered the Cebu City Sports Center last Friday night, hundreds of pairs of spiked shoes and knee-high socks greeted my eyes. Yesterday morning, it was the same soccer-frenzy sight: girls kicking, boys sprinting towards the steel goal, coaches shouting, goalies jumping to stop a score…
The world’s No.1 sport is widespread and celebrated in the Philippines’ No.1 city. Take the 7th Thirsty Football Festival, a smorgasbord of 209 teams and 2,500 participants. All of them Cebuanos? No. Many arrived on our shores coming from Tubigon, Dumaguete, Tanjay, San Carlos, Iligan, Tacloban and Bacolod. Outside Manila, this event is possibly the largest gathering of footballers.

THE Sacred Heart School – Jesuits (SHS-J) returned to the Boys 14 division of the annual Thirsty Football Cup and immediately made an impact as it bagged the title over San Carlos City in the championship match yesterday at the Cebu City Sports Complex football grounds.
SHS-J and San Carlos City were equally matched on both the offensive and defensive end but just as the time was winding down, SHS-J striker Vinson Neri scored from pointblank range from a well-calculated pass by left winger Keef Yap to clinch the game.
“It was a total team effort. Without helping each other, we wouldn’t have achieved this,” SHS-J coach Vincent Ramos told Sun.Star Cebu after their championship victory.

Football stadium to rise over old Rizal track?
MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Sports Commission yesterday bared its plan to convert the old track and field oval at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex into a football field even as it signified its intention to tap a private institution to co-finance the project.
“The plan is to turn the Rizal Memorial Track and Field Oval into a football stadium and we’re going to pursue that,” said Philippine Sports Commission chair Harry Angping.
“It’s just matter of having a budget and finding probably a private partner to help co-finance it,” he said.
Angping, in fact, said they might explore the possibility of forging a partnership with La Salle in making the plan for the construction of a state-of-the-art football field, which could also host several international events.

Cebu Football - Aboitiz Cup , 53 rd Army win Men`s Cup and Crazy Horse Men`s League
By Edri K. Aznar
THE 53rd Army ended its debut in the Aboitiz Football Cup in victory as it upset defending champions University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Alumni in the Men’s Cup championship last Sunday at the Aboitiz Sports field.
The 53rd Army, composed of a mix of enlisted men and non-army personnel, was the underdog in the matchup but managed to pull off an upset 2-1 win.
The team also brought along a band that cheered them on from start to finish.
USJ-R Alumni’s Dave Intong drew first blood with a goal in the 15th minute but Voltaire Montebon quickly tied the game at 1-1 with an answer five minutes after.
Both teams had limited scoring opportunities midway into the game before Eduardo Gempisaw got the go-ahead goal past reserve keeper Tony Caldallero.
Absent
Caldallero stepped in for USJ-R Alumni’s ace goalkeeper Peter Onde, who was absent from the championship match.
USJ-R tried its best to tie the game and force extra time but their harried plays resulted in wasted scoring opportunities.
It’s the second time the 53rd Army won a tournament in Cebu in its first try. It also won the 9th Cebu Amateur Football Club Interclub in its first attempt.
Don Bosco Magone grabbed third place after beating Xantos FC, 1-0.
Men’s League
Eugene Yclino V scored the only goal of the match from a penalty kick in the 62nd minute.
Meanwhile, the defending champions Crazy Horse retained its title in the Men’s League after a 1-1 draw with University of the Philippines Foundation (USPF).
Rene Sanchez of USPF hit the net in the 23 minute, while Joshua Fegidero tied the game in the 38th.
Crazy Horse was declared the winner as it topped the league with 17 points, Queen City United finished second with 16 points and USPF was third with 15.
Had USPF won the game, it would have overtaken Crazy Horse by a point and bagged the crown.

The 53rd Army, composed of a mix of enlisted men and non-army personnel, was the underdog in the matchup but managed to pull off an upset 2-1 win.
The team also brought along a band that cheered them on from start to finish.
USJ-R Alumni’s Dave Intong drew first blood with a goal in the 15th minute but Voltaire Montebon quickly tied the game at 1-1 with an answer five minutes after.
Both teams had limited scoring opportunities midway into the game before Eduardo Gempisaw got the go-ahead goal past reserve keeper Tony Caldallero.
Absent
Caldallero stepped in for USJ-R Alumni’s ace goalkeeper Peter Onde, who was absent from the championship match.
USJ-R tried its best to tie the game and force extra time but their harried plays resulted in wasted scoring opportunities.
It’s the second time the 53rd Army won a tournament in Cebu in its first try. It also won the 9th Cebu Amateur Football Club Interclub in its first attempt.
Don Bosco Magone grabbed third place after beating Xantos FC, 1-0.
Men’s League
Eugene Yclino V scored the only goal of the match from a penalty kick in the 62nd minute.
Meanwhile, the defending champions Crazy Horse retained its title in the Men’s League after a 1-1 draw with University of the Philippines Foundation (USPF).
Rene Sanchez of USPF hit the net in the 23 minute, while Joshua Fegidero tied the game in the 38th.
Crazy Horse was declared the winner as it topped the league with 17 points, Queen City United finished second with 16 points and USPF was third with 15.
Had USPF won the game, it would have overtaken Crazy Horse by a point and bagged the crown.
