UNITED City Football Club remained flawless after a dominant, but not Kaya Football Club performance in the Philippine Soccer League on the artificial field of the Philippine Soccer Federation Training Center in Carmona, Cavite, on Tuesday night.
United City made Maharlika Manila Football Club look powerless in a 10-0 shutout to navigate to their third straight win and send chills down their opponents who are seriously on a fourth run to the crown.
With victory practically at hand, Robert Lopez Mendy and OJ Porteria reveled in their disorganized opponents and booked a hattrick each in the game that United City turned into a practice.
Kaya, on the other hand, was forced to draw 1-1 by a relentless Stallion-Laguna side to see his hitherto immaculate record smashed.
Earlier in the day, Azkals Development Team scored its first win, 2-0, over Mendiola Football Club.
United City went on a goal spree with Mike Ott breaking the ice in the 15ththMinute and Welcome Maranon scoring just three minutes later as Maharlika’s team failed to put together a decent defense.
Team captain Stephen Schrock joined the goal column with a conversion in the 32nd minute and Takashi Odawara consolidated United City’s strong control in the match by completing a shot from Ott’s book line a minute before halftime. .
Mendy scored at 40, 57 and 62, while Porteria frolicked at 70th on a penalty kick and on 73rd and in the 74th minute, goals in rapid succession against a broken defense by Maharlika.
Maharlika fell to 1-1 win-lost.
Jovin Bedic got the ball rolling for Kaya as he found the back of the net in the 10th minute behind an assist from Kenshiro Daniels. But that turned out to be the last goal of the day for Iloilo’s team.
Stallion-Laguna erected an ingenious defense in the second half, breaking through Kaya’s wall to tie the game at 1-1 with a goal by Jhanjhan Melliza off substitute Jo Bedia’s cross in the 79th minute.
“The plan was not to allow Kaya to establish his position,” Stallion-Laguna FC head coach Ernest Nierras said after the draw, the first of the season.
Jarvey Gayoso, son of former basketball star Jayvee, scored in 73rd minute and Matthew Custodio at 81S t minute to ADT, who posted their first win in three games and sent Mendiola to their third straight loss.
