THE University of San Jose Recoletos (USJ-R) and the Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) beat their opponents yesterday at the start of the 10th CESAFI High School Football Championship at the University of San Carlos – Talamban Campus (USC-TC) grounds.

Jude Alcoseba’s 15th minute goal from the center allowed USJ-R to edge USC-NC, 1-0. The Kicking Jaguars managed 11 shots with six on target while USC-NC posted seven shots with four on target.

In the second game, the SHS-AdC outclassed the University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF), 6-2 with the former scoring four unanswered goals in the second half after a close, 2-2 tally in the first.
