Matansa\u2019s Jordan Ruiz drew first blood in the 31st minute after a long and silent game with both teams unable to connect with the goal. The ball flew back and forth on the pitch and with the final minutes of the first half winding down, Old B Bank\u2019s John Canape tied the game up in the 39th minute.<\/p>\n

A lot of slogging for both teams were done in the second half as goals were hard to come by, but Russelle Zapanta put Old B Bank up by one in the 56th minute. Matansa could not make contact any further as Panapa Peteru made it a 3-1 game in the 74th minute.<\/p>\n

The Tan Holdings team of MSL 1, on the other hand, tamed Eleven Tiger to zero goals, 3-0.<\/p>\n

It was quiet for both teams in the first half as no goals were made for a scoreless draw heading into the second half. But then, Martin Jambor found an opening and put Tan Holdings on the board, 1-0 in the 50th minute.<\/p>\n

Teammate Isiah Bergancia followed suit in the 63rd minute, with the final goal made by Ronnel Ocanada in the 71st minute.<\/p>\n

Silence befell the pitch as both teams scrambled to get out of the draw, but it wasn\u2019t until later in the second half\u2019s 45th minute did Chang Bai Hu take the lead with Joe Wang\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n

Wang ended completing a hat-trick and the other goals were contributed by Ming Zhe Li, Xiao Jeng Lin, and one more goal by Gueng.\u00a0<\/p>\n
