The stinging loss to veteran laden KMMPC still haunting them, Metro TMS rebounded strongly this time with a statement win in the 2012 DFA Second Division League.
A resounding 8-1 win over an outmatched SF FC was all that the fancied Metro TMS side needed to get back on track in the tournament.
Playing reckless and not defending well, Metro TMS got stung by KMMPC 3 to nil in their last outing in a match that exposed some chink in their vaunted armor.
Against SF FC, Metro TMS played a tentative first half before settling down after the break. Right winger Carl Fabre broke the ice in the 60th before Manny Yu found the net twice in the 75th and 76th and striker Eric Sedighour knocked in the first of his three in the 77th. That four-goal barrage in 17 minutes was all the jolt they needed to get back in the groove.
Sedighpour (77’, 87’, 89’) and Fabre (60’, 85’, 90’) both scored hat tricks in the match as Metro TMS laid out their feared artillery to full display. Jeffrey Sauner scored SF’s lone goal in the 80th.
In other matches, Solido Youth beat M7 United 3-1 on goals by Javi Romero-Salas (47th) and Miko Arrieta (53’, 89’). M7 opened up the scoring early in the 16th courtesy of Ruel Sasuman but could not keep up with the crazy pace of the youthful Solido side.
Intangibles FC also chalked up an easy win against Eden FC 6-0 while Instatech stopped KMMPC 3-2.
RJ Concordo had two markers for Intangibles in the 29th and 75th. Other scorers were Gerome Laruan (10’), Miko Garpisano (53’), Benjie Pacetes (58’) and Teddy Malanguiz (61’).
Dietmer Speckmaier booked two markers for Instatech including the marginal goal in the 70th. Laude Langgam added one in the 57th as Instatech cooled KMMPC which got a goal each in veterans Angging Sabate (46’) and lawyer Iko Villano (59’). (Neil Bravo)
