GLOBAL relied on Misagh Bahadoran’s
second-half strike to pull off a narrow 1-0 victory over Green Archers United
last night and regain top spot in the United Football League at the University
of Makati field.
With Loyola Meralco and Kaya only securing
a point after playing to a 2-2 draw Saturday, the door was left open for Global
to move on top and Bahadoran made sure that the 2010 UFL Cup champion
capitalized on the opportunity.
The Filipino international, a vital cog in
the Azkals’ run to third place in the AFC Challenge Cup last March, surged on
the left before firing low from a tight angle to beat Green Archers keeper
Patrick Deyto in the 59th minute.
The win boosted Global to 34 points, two
clear of Loyola and Kaya, while Green Archers were stuck at nine points, just
five ahead of doormat Navy Red Juice.
Earlier, Nomads Auction Manila barged into
the Top 5 after a come-from-behind 4-1 win over Army Fritz and Macziol.
Nomads rallied with four second-half goals,
pouncing on an side which was dealt a big blow when goalkeeper Ed Sacapano was
sent off in the first half.
A brace from teenager Jeremy Theuer and
goals from Steve Borril, Chris Phillimore boosted Nomads to only their fourth
win of their inaugural campaign in the first division.
Nomads moved up to fifth with 16 points,
while Army absorbed its fifth loss in six matches.
Green Archers were reduced to 10 men in the
48th minute after defender Reynaldo Villareal was sent off for a second yellow
card.
But Deyto kept them in the match with a
string of impressive saves on Patrick Reichelt and Bahadoran.
Deyto, whose performance caught the
attention of Azkals mentor Michael Weiss, also denied Yu Hoshide late on, going
full stretch to palm the ball away.
The Philippine U22 team will have a training camp in Bacolod City starting on May 21 to prepare for the upcoming AFC U22 Asian Cup 2013 qualifiers (June 23 - July 3) in Myanmar.
