DYNAMIC Herb Cebu FC bucked the absence of midfielder Daniel Gadia to subdue Mendiola FC 1991, 3-1, last Saturday and grab the top spot in the Philippines Football League brought to you by Qatar Airways at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona, Cavite.
The Gentle Giants scored all of their goals in the second half as they stretched their unbeaten run to 17 and hiked their tally to 43 points this season, two ahead of Kaya FC Iloilo.
Ivan Ouano, Marius Kore and Kintaro Miyagi all found the back of the net for the Gentle Giants, who needed to keep their poise as tempers flared in the last 10 minutes.
“We only focused on what impact we can do in the match,” said Ouano, who came in at halftime and scored 10 minutes later.
Jeremiah Borlongan set up Ouano on the left, before the Cebu striker slotted the ball past Mendiola keeper Joseh Ceniza.
