IT will be a faceoff between Sacred Heart School Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) and Canduman–Dedon as they open the semifinal matches today of Players 8 division in the 14th Aboitiz Football Cup.

Canduman will try to get even with SHS-AdC, which routed them in the last Don Bosco Technology Center Football Festival Players 8 championship.


But it will be a tough task for Canduman as SHS-AdC which is the top team in their group, after winning all of its seven matches

Canduman has five wins and one loss.

“Last mi nag-abot kay napildi mi and hopefully makabawi mi nila ugma. Ready na ang mga bata excited na sila muduwa,” said Canduman Head coach Jun Santillan.

This is a good performance for the SHS-AdC who returned this year in the Players 8 after missing it last year.

“There is no specific game plan. It’s more on the technical side where the players kick and run,” said SHS-AdC head coach Jong Perez.

Perez and his boys are challenged by some players who cannot join the practice because of examination schedules but still confident with his boys performance today.

The match will be followed by the game between Giuseppe FC against DBTC 1.

Meanwhile, the Players 10 will have the quarterfinal matches in another pitch with DBTC 4 and SRFC-A opening up the games followed by the match between SHS-AdC and HIS.

The last two matches will feature CIS against Bright Academy and DBTC 5 against Canduman.
