Watching last nights UFL game pitting Loyola Meralco and Kaya Cignal was an experience for a newbee in football. Though I'm an avid sports fan, but I'm really not into the Azkals hype (or overhype).
The highly touted team of Loyola Meralco Sparks having the core group of the Younghusband's and the popular Matt Hartmann (due to the incident that occurred during the SEA Games) was going up against fellow Azkals Nate Burkey, Anton del Rosario and Lexton Moy of Kaya Cignal.
Though the first half was completely dominated by Kaya Cignal, due to the strong showing of their import (who unfortunately I forgot the name) scored the first two goals of the game. The Sparks were off of their game in the first half due to the consistent and very valiant defense of Kaya. The half ended with Kaya up three-nil.
But the second half was a different story. The sparks regained their composure and scored five straight goals shocking the crowd and the Kaya players. Phil got his groove back and the rest of the Sparks played like the highly touted team that they were. The game ended in a 5-4 score with the Sparks advancing to the finals against the winner of Philippine Air Force led by the Ilonggo Chieffy Caligdong going up against Angel Guirado led Global FC.
