Bennet Haro earlier in the seventh minute put Shirley\u2019s on the board, but the team eventually lost the lead and the game when Jambor took over for MP United-2 and hit his target anew in the 31st minute.<br \/>\nIn the Paire-Kanoa tiff, the latter drew first blood, courtesy of Akoni Matsumoto\u2019s goal right in the first minute and even posted a 2-0 lead at halftime following D\u2019Artagnan Moya Enerio\u2019s goal in the 17th minute. However, Paire fought back in the second half behind siblings Jazzroy and Jayten Villagomez. Jazzroy equalized in the 21st minute, just a minute after Paire got an own goal, while Jayten\u2019s conversion in the 36th put the team on the top and it hung on to the shaky lead for the season debut win.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, MP United-1 completed Week 1 winners in the division after downing TanHoldings Football Club, 7-3.<\/p>\n<p>Taiga Namai-Scoggins and Lukas Lee tallied three goals apiece to lead MP United-1\u2019s easy win, while Cody scored the other goal for the squad.
