MANILA – The Ceres-La Salle Football Club clinched its second straight win in the 2016 United Football League by dominating Laos Football Club, 8-0, on Wednesday night at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium.
Stephan Schrock led the way with a hat-trick, as Adrian Gallardo-Valdes added two goals, while Olapido Okunaiya, Jeffrey Christiaens and Nathaniel Burkey contributed a conversion each for the defending champions Ceres-La Salle.
After consecutive misses to start the match, Ceres-La Salle finally notched a goal in the 15th minute as Okunaiya scored from a pass by Gallardo-Valdes. It was quickly doubled as Schrock drained a header.
Just before the halftime break, Ceres-La Salle racked in three more goals, a close range shot by Gallardo Valdes, a shot from deep by Christiaens and another hit by Gallardo-Valdes for a 5-0 score.
Ceres-La Salle continued its scoring spree in the second half as Burkey contributed close range baskets while Schrock completed his hat-trick with two goals from inside the box.
With the victory, the Bacolod City-based Ceres-La Salle strengthened its hold on the second spot with 38 points on a 12-3-2 win-loss-draw slate. Laos remained at last place with three points on a 2-14-1 record.
