Davao Football - Columbia wins

WT-FM and Columbia FC kept their unbeaten slates as the Davao Premier League resumed Sunday at the Tionko field.

Columbia defeated Ebocci, 6-4, through the heroics of Nur Hazzanal Mentang and Al Dinn Tiboron who knocked in the last two goals in the 77th and 82nd, respectively.

Ariel Absser Pidtukasan sealed the first goal for Columbia in the ninth minute but Michael Jay Fernandez countered in the 21st for the 1-all tie.

Tiboron followed it up with another goal in the 28th and teammate Randy Joseph Inguillo scored in the 32nd and 49th to lift Columbia.

Fernandez's goal in the 69th and Ferdinand Visto's back-to-back goals (71st and 72nd) for Ebocci, however, leveled the match anew at 4-4.
