UFL - Quarterfinals Beckons for Global Smartmatic and Stallions

It is starting to become clear who will be progressing to the Quarterfinals of the LBC-UFL Cup, as superior teams have stamped their authority and flexed their muscles in their respective groups.

Although there were no matches held at the weekend, November 18’s midweek encounters between Global Smartmatic v Loyola ATR KimEng and Nomads v Stallions were surely more than enough to whet the Filipinos’ growing appetite for quality football action. With the Quarterfinals just around the corner and as clubs start to feel the massive pressure to win in every match, the tension is quickly building among the teams.

Global Smartmatic proved they could more than handle the strain however, bouncing back from a heartbreaking defeat to Union by booking their place in the last eight with a 2-0 win over Loyola ATR KimEng. The victory seals Group D’s qualifiers into the next round, with Union and Global Smartmatic playing on November 28 to determine who will take top spot.

Guest team Stallions are making a name for themselves in the LBC-UFL Cup, proving they belong amongst the nation’s elite as they edge ever closer to qualification in Group B. Still unbeaten with seven points, another win on December 5 against Japan will seal their progress into the Quarterfinals on December 19.

Five matches will be held on Sunday, November 28, check www.footballalliance.ph for all fixtures, results and news. This is the UFL. IT’s OUR Game!
