Ylanan Gym, UP Diliman – The Superfly showed its strength with a scoring spree that was more than enough to tame TLZ.
Superfly managed to show its ball-handling advantage as they battle with a short-handed TLZ team. Joseph Baylon of the Superfly was called for a hitting violation which resulted into a successful free-hit of Christian Esguerra at 4:16 mark. Four minutes after that, Joco Navarro evened the game with a goal at 8:02 coming off an assist from Ralph Ramos. The half ended with both teams tied with a score of one.
The second half of the game saw the scoring spree of Superfly. Ramos started the party with an unassisted goal at 12:01 and less than a minute after that (12:52) Navarro captured his second goal from a pass of Joseph Baylon, who seemed to make-up. The lack of players affected the energy of TLZ whose defense broke down in the half and was exploited by Superfly. Unfortunately for TLZ, they increased the gap between their points with an own goal from an unlucky deflection by EJ Valdoria. Valdoria deflected a pass from Navarro which was originally intended for Ramos which went right through TLZ’s goal. Ramos capped off the game with a goal from the side courtesy of a Baylon pass at 18:32. The game finished with Superfly comfortably at top with five goals to TLZ’s one.
Neil Astrologo of TLZ saved goal attempts 11 times in contrast with Bryan Bautista who allowed a goal. Superfly is on the rise with 2-1-1 record and TLZ with the same slate of 2-1-1.
Watch-out for these teams next Saturday! Superfly will face Sixy at 10:30 and TLZ will be at a match with Stick-O at 11:30 and with the Mighty 300 at 12:00.
