MANILA, Philippines - Bacolod edged Iloilo, 1-0, in a duel of fancied teams as it took the pole position in the Visayas Regionals of the PFF Suzuki Under-23 Cup at the Cimafranca Field in Dumaguete City over the weekend.
Jay Baguioro slammed the lone goal off Iloilo keeper Wilson Muñoz, who lost possession after foiling Bacolod midfielder Jovin Bedic’s low cross from the right wing in the 44th minute.
“It’s a real rivalry. Whether elementary, high school, collegiate or club game. We expect nothing less from them and vice versa,” said Bacolod head coach Norman Fegidero.
It was a typical Bacolod-Iloilo match with elbows, tackles, and harsh words thrown around. Eight yellow cards were issued with one red card.
The match was temporarily stopped in the 70th minute when Iloilo assistant coach Richard Bedia was thrown out by referee Vladimir Villacora.
Iloilo dominated first half action with superb control in the midfield by Francis Gustilo and Shirmar Felongco.

Please post later the result of the Iloilo vs NORFA game. NORFA need to outscore Iloilo by at least 10 goals to qualify for the finals.
ReplyDeleteNo need to score 10 goals. Iloilo got + 9 and NORFA -1. Win 6-0 and Iloilo got + 3 and NORFA got +5.
ReplyDeleteNot very likely anyway....
NOFA is not qualified too if they lose with many goals to Leyte today :)
Anybody who know the score NOFA vs Leyte ?
NOFA 11 - O Leyte (11-0) FT, Iloilo vs NORFA about to start.....
ReplyDeleteSo NORFA has to win by 6 goals vs Iloilo. Anything can happen in football. A slim chance of winning is still a possibility. Don't let it happen Iloilo!
ReplyDeleteno , dumaguete only needs 5 goal differential to qualify.
