THEY drew the first time they met. Now, it’s winner take all.
Top teams Doraemon and Cebu Amateur Football Club (CAFC) scored identical 2-0 wins in the semifinals yesterday to meet in the finals of the CAFC 10th Interclub Invitational Tournament.
The Men’s Open final will be at 3:30 p.m. at the San Roque Parish field, after the finals for the 14- and 17-Under and the 38-above divisions.
In the first semis game, Doraemon struggled to break the methodical University of San Jose-Recoletos apart before prevailing, 2-0.
Lemuel Unabia scored the first goal in the 68th, while the prolific Joshua Fegidero, who scored 12 against Count FC, banged in the insurance goal in injury time.
In the second game, the hobbled FC Inter Cebu, playing without starting keeper Benjamin Sanchez and Jack Reston, got ahead early in the seventh.
Midfielder Julius Acre won a goal-mouth scramble and banged in the first goal, before former University of the Visayas teammate Martin Bontia made it 2-0 in the 71st.
Today, CAFC will be in full force as both Sanchez and Reston have served their one-game suspension.
It will be their second game since a 1-1 draw, with Fegidero scoring the equalizer two minutes from time, during the elimination round last Sunday.
The top teams in the 17-Under division also advanced to the finals after shutout wins in the semifinals yesterday.
Abellana National School-Pomeroy of Francis Ramirez was the first to advance with a 3-0 rout of Sacred Heart School-Jesuits, in the morning game, while Colegio de Sta. Rita needed a shootout to beat Don Bosco College, 4-0.
In the first game, John Ray Nieves struck first in the 23rd for a 1-0 half time lead, before Dan Villarico connected 14 minutes into the second half for 2-0.
