Doraemon wins CAFC Men's Open
NEW name, same result.
Doraemon, formerly known as Crazy Horse, added the Cebu Amateur Football Club (CAFC)-10th National Interclub Invitational tournament title to its hoard after a tough 4-3 win over CAFC, yesterday at the San Roque Parish field.
CAFC got the lead, twice, and even had two penalties but couldn’t pull through against Doraemon, the reigning Aboitiz Men’s Open champion.
Mitsu Tsunakiri scored the first goal in the 12th for Doraemon, but Junard Aguilar equalized four minutes later.
Julius Acre, who won the Best Midfielder award, put CAFC ahead for the first time in the 23rd.
Former RP team member Robert Cañedo leveled the match in the 50th but Aguilar spoiled it again three minutes later for 3-2.
Epifanio Ynot leveled the match in the 67th before Masahiko Ayabe got the lead in the 75th.
Doraemon keeper Alex Boanghog, who saved two penalties, was named the Best Keeper and MVP, while Albert Nangkil got the Best Defender award. Joshua Fegidero went scoreless yesterday but his 12 goals against Count FC was enough to earn him the Golden Boot award.
Meanwhile, seven years after picking up the sport, the boys of M. Lhuillier Canduman are still picking up trophies.
Now playing for Mandaue Technical Institute, Coach Jun Santillan and his boys added the 14-Under with a 1-0 win over Sacred Heart School-Jesuits (SHS-J) in the finals yesterday at San Roque Parish field.
Individual awards
James Andrew Duaz showed skills beyond his age as he controlled the cross with his chest before rushing past the defender for the lone goal 15 minutes into the second half.
Both finalists also split the individual awards. MTI’s Jaybee Malianao was named best keeper, while Dexter John Espiritu got the Best Midfielder award.
Darren Ramos and Miguel Kwan of SHS-J won the Best Defender and Golden Boot award.
In the 17-Under finals, Colegio de Sta. Rita took advantage of a momentary lapse of judgment by the Abellana National School-Pomeroy defense for a close 1-0 win.
Marvin Contivedo stripped an ANS defender, who struggled to clear the ball, and hit a lob past the keeper from 30 yards 15 minutes into the match.
“Di gyud to para amo,” said ANS coach Francis Ramirez.
Prince Anthony’s free kick kissed the bar in the first half, while another attempt by Dan Villarico also went wide.
