Queen City United keeps men’s crown


Sunday, March 17, 2013
CEBU Queen City United extended its dominance in the men’s open after it collared its second straight title in the 15th Aboitiz Football Cup with a 3-0 win over former champion Hiroshi yesterday at the Cebu City Sports Center.
“Ni-payoff among practice every day,” said head coach Mario Ceniza.
It was an even match in the first half with both teams showing they were hungry for the title. However, former Hiroshi player Ariel Cahilig gave CQCU the edge with a brilliant strike in the first half.
Things got worse for Hiroshi after Harold Buot got a red card and in the second half, Junard Aguilar and Nigerian Xamxon Olaniyi added two more goals to seal the deal.
Even if they missed Miguel Gonzales and Bryan Eborda in the backline in yesterday’s game, the team compensated for it in their attacks.
Meanwhile, Hiroshi didn’t go home empty handed after their 38-above team beat Erco FC, 2-0, to win the title.
Panny Kyriapoulos scored the first goal in the 26th minute while Yamaguchi Noriyuri banged in the second in the 45th minute.
Meanwhile, University of Southern Philippines Foundation finally got hold of the men’s under-23 after beating University of San Carlos, 2-0.
