Don Bosco blanks USP-F, gains top spot in Cesafi football tilt

THE DON BOSCO College (DBC) took the top spot after winning its second game yesterday in the secondary football competition of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) at the Cebu City Sports Center.

The Greywolves won their second straight match with a 3-0 routing of the University of Southern Philippines-Foundation (USP-F). They now have six points.

Prior to the DBC-USP-F match, the 2012 champions Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) started its title-retention bid on the right note with a 2-0 blanking of University of San Carlos (USC).

DBC underscored its eagerness in grabbing this year’s title by playing with no mercy against the USP-F and grabbing a 2-0 advantage at halftime courtesy of Moises Gingoyon and Adrian Covero.

Former Little Azkals member Moiselle Angelo Alforque sealed DBC’s win with his goal in the 70th minute.

In the first game, the Magis Eagles’ grit was matched by the Warriors with the first half ending scoreless.

However, the defending champions started pulling away with a goal 15 minutes into the second half from Kintaro Miyagi, also a former member of the Little Azkals.

Jun Carlo Canlas made his own contribution five minutes later, which silenced the Warriors, who have suffered their second defeat in the first weekend of the tournament.

The Cesafi football competition will resume this weekend. /CORRESPONDENT MARS G. ALISON
