La Salle draws first blood
REINFORCEMENTS STRIKE IN GAME ONE WIN
BY CEDELF TUPAS
BAGO CITY --- The reinforcements struck for the University of St. La Salle yesterday, putting the defending champions on the brink of a third straight crown in the NOFA Provincial Men's Open Championship here.
Goals from Sudanese import Izzeldin El Habbib and Ilonggo reinforcement Ruben Doctora propelled 10-man La Salle to a 2-0 victory over rival West Negros College at the start of their best-of-three title series at the Bago City pitch.
El-Habbib, a student at De La Salle University, unleashed an unstoppable 20-yard strike that took a nasty deflection on WNC Kim Relusio's hip, leaving goalkeeper Edmundo Mercado no chance. 
| RP footbelles pegged back The Philippine women's football team failed to get maximum points in its first match yesterday when it was held to a 2-2 draw by Laos at the Tumbon Muenapag Stadium in Nakhon Ratchasima. Tipped to improve on its fourth-place finish, the Filipinas trailed 1-0 at the break before goals from Patricia Empilido and Edna Agravante in the 63 rd and 68 th minutes respectively looked to have set the Marlon Maro's wards on the way to victory. But disaster struck as the nationals conceded a goal in the closing minutes as Laos, a newcomer in the women's football event in the SEAG, salvaged the draw. |
