EMAR Learning Center blanked Ateneo de Davao University, 3 - 0, to clinch the 5th Mayor Rody and Inday Sara Duterte-Holcim Philippines Inter High-School Football Tournament crown Saturday at the Tionko Football Field.
Playing tough at all times, Emar exploded down the stretch scoring goals one after the other en route to its fifth straight title.
Frances Jay Abrasaldo scored Emar’s first goal in the 37th minute that set the pace of the game for the Matina-based booter’s favor.
Abrasaldo’s goal came after numerous offensive attack changes in the early going of the match witnessed by some officials of Holcim Phils.
Bal Angelo scored another goal in the 78th minute and Jomar Acedo, who was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) scored another one three minutes later to seal the victory.

Ateneo battled hard but just could not keep pace with the much-quicker Emar booters who outplayed the Ateneans at all front.
