Kaya FC struck early and dominated the flow of the match en route to a 1-0 victory over Philippine Air Force Phoenix Saturday in the opening match of the United Football League at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium.
Ivorian forward Eric Dagroh opened the scoring for Kaya, which finished fourth in the season’s Cup competition last December, barely four minutes into the match.
A few moments later, Dagroh appeared to have scored a second goal, which was disallowed because of a foul on Kaya inside the penalty box.
Kaya surprisingly dominated possession of the match, as the Airmen seemed a step slow. Wave after wave of Kaya attacks kept coming in the first half, and only the steady goalkeeping of Air Force veteran Tats Mercado kept his team in the match.
Things did not get better for Air Force in the second half, after elite forward Nate Burkey and Joshua Beloya checked in for Kaya. Burkey and Beloya, along with Dagroh, kept hooking up for opportunity after opportunity, with Mercado barely foiling them each time.
