United FC blanks Azkals

 By Ian Suyu


United City FC eked out a tight 1-0 victory against the Azkals Development Team to start its title-retention bid in the historic opening of the Philippines Football League (PFL) at the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) National Training Center in Carmona, Cavite.

UCFC midfielder Mike Ott completed a volley kick off Manny Ott in the 26th minute to bag their first three points in the compressed bubble tournament.

The former Ceres-Negros squad imposed airtight defense as midfielder Takashi Odawara and skipper Stephan Schrock dominated the possession right from the get-go, giving the young Azkals team a hard time to press the ball throughout the match.

ADT had its chance to clinch for a draw after Manny Ott was booked for a red card in the latter part of the second half but failed to convert its last-minute runs against the defensive scheme of the defending champions.
