THE UST Golden Booters notched their third straight win in the Ang Liga football tournament after edging the Lyceum of the Philippines Pirates, 1-0, at the San Beda College pitch last Aug. 16.
After starting their season with a loss against defending UAAP champions Far Eastern University, the Golden Booters rolled to three straight victories. They now sit at second place with a 3-1 win-loss card.
Midfielder Efren Menares drilled in the lone goal of the match off a Jason Rafol dish in the 32nd minute.
UST tried to convert again in the second half, unleashing six of their nine goal attempts. They also showcased stifling defense halting Lyceum’s swift attacks in the 58th and 63rd minute.
UST head coach Marjo Allado commended his rookies who stepped up big time.
“’Yung performance was okay pero some players need to step up. ‘Di puwedeng ‘di makakasabay sa laro especially if you are a senior tapos mababa ang performance compared to the rookies,” Allado said. Delfin Ray M. Dioquino
