Tigers Win Via Spot Kick In Extra Time
University of Santo Tomas started the defense of its UAAP men’s football title in a good note after defeating De La Salle University, 2-1, on January 13 at the Ateneo football field.
Ricardo Becite stroked a beautifully placed free kick from just the perimeter of the left-hand side of the penalty box as injury time rolled in. The Tigers' other goal come from a corner kick in the 23rd minute when Meloton Pelayo flicked in a header from Becite.
"Patience lang daw sabi ng mga players," said UST coach Marjo Allado. "Hindi sila nag-give up."
Nikko Paolo Villa provided the lone goal of De La Salle in the ninth minute after recovering a long forward pass when the ball hit a muddy spot in the penalty box.
Santo Tomas controlled the majority of the match, relying on long ball attempts. However, the España-based crew made hay from set plays instead.
"Noong player ako, hindi ako nanalo sa (De) La Salle, draw lang," Allado recalled, finally winning one against the green and white, but as a coach.
In other games, Jovani Simpron accomplished a hat trick to lead Far Eastern University in a 6-1 trashing against University of the East, while Ateneo de Manila University won against UP, 2-1.
In the distaff, the Lady Eagles gained headway by beating next door neighbor State, 1-0, while UST and DLSU settled for a scoreless draw.
In juniors action the day before, De La Salle Zobel and Ateneo High School both rained goals on their opponents with the Junior Archers shutting out Far Eastern University-Nicanor Reyes Educational Foundation, 11-0, and Ateneo blanking UST, 7-0.
