Mandaue, Cebu rule CCSC tilt

MANDAUE CITY and Cebu City ruled their respective divisions to become the inaugural champions of the Cebu City Sports Center Football Friendship Games dubbed the Champion’s League yesterday at the CCSC football field.

Mandaue City’s selection of players from the Mandaue Technical Institute and Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) proved to be lethal as it clinched the secondary title over the Abellana National School (ANS) Pomeroy via a penalty shootout, 4-3, after the regulation match ended at 1-all.

Mandaue’s Kiko Villamor scored the first goal with just 13 minutes into the ballgame.

However, ANS Pomeroy forced a penalty shootout when it was able to score the equalizer in the 40th minute on Kevin Delantes’ goal.

Scoring for Mandaue during the penalty shootout were Villamor, AJ Pelicano, Joseph Felicilda and Clint Ligan while finding the back of the net for ANS were Shane Sarmiento, Delantes and Kennedy Cuizon.

In the elementary division, Cebu City manned by players from the Don Bosco Technology Center (DBTC) shocked Team Warshockz, 6-1, to rule the division.

Cebu City’s Gleere Espinosa found the back of the net first in the 10th minute of the ballgame. The team posted a 2-0 lead four minutes later on Christian Agot’s goal. Espinosa scored his second goal in the 24th minute.

Vince Pacana pulled Cebu City out of reach with his goal in the 48th minute while Benedict Obispo added his contribution in the 62nd minute. The Warshockz goalkeeper made it six for Cebu City with an own goal./CORRESPONDENT MARS G. ALISON
