USP-F Alumni FC lost to Don Bosco United FC, 4-1 last week while Sambag 1 triumphed over Queen City United (QCU) 2-0 and both teams are now tied in the standings with one win and one draw.
Despite the score, it was Sambag 1, made up players from the former champion Hiroshi with a few reinforcements like former RP training pool mainstay Oliver Colina, which was on the attack for most of the match with USP-F rarely getting to the other side of the field.
In the final minutes of the game, USP-F keeper Benjamin Sanchez kept Sambag 1 from scoring with two diving saves, while their defense was content to kick the ball out of bounds to waste time to preserve the upset.
Meanwhile, QCU drew with the visiting Tagbilaran team, 4-4.
Jimmy Oclarit of Tagbilaran drew first blood with a goal in the 15th minute of the game then Jason Cempron added another goal for Tagbilaran in the 40th minute for a 2-0 lead over QCU.
However, QCU retaliated two minutes later with a strike by Jose Mari Colmenaros to reduce the lead to 2-1.
In the second half, Jack Reston scored another goal for QCU to tie the game at 2-2 before Oclarit scored twice more for a 4-2 count.
However, Queen City was able to salvage a point with goals by Reston and Jake Acre for the 4-4 tally.
