Cebu wins two in a row.
TWO down, one to go.
Cebu's Queen City United got off to a roaring start as it defeated Iloilo, 2-1, in the opening match of the Philippine Football Federation National Women's Open Championship at the Tiongko Field yesterday.
QCU then chalked up win number two with a 3-0 bashing of Iligan City last Wednesday to book a semis spot.
"They played very well. I told them not to give Iloilo a chance to shoot and they were able to do that," coach Richard Montayre said. "I think we controlled 70 percent of the game."
Midway into the first win, Katherine Bejec one-timed a cross from left flank past the goalkeeper for a 1-0 lead.
Ivy Jane Bongcasan doubled the lead early in the first half after getting a pass from Rhodora Toledo, who broke away from her defender.
Still, Iloilo refused to give up and got one courtesy of an alleged miscall by the referee late in the second half.
"The player was clearly offside but the linesman didn't see it so the ref called the goal," team captain Jan Salac said.
"We had lots of chances. If we had converted them, maybe we could have won by eight goals," said Montayre.
A win against its final assingment, Rizal today will assure Cebu of a number one finish in thier bracket and avoid an early clash with Davao.
