Tacardon’s Brace Powers UP to Victory Over UST
BY JEREMIAH M. SEVILLA ON OCTOBER 2, 2017 FOOTBALL TIMES
Fidel Tacardon struck a brace as University of the Philippines (UP) notched a come-from-behind 4-2 victory over University of Santo Tomas (UST) to strengthen its grip of the second spot in the top division of the Ang Liga Season 15 collegiate football tournament on Sunday at the De La Salle University Science and Technology Complex Football Field in Biñan, Laguna.
Tacardon fired two goals down the stretch as the Maroon Booters crawled out of a 1-2 disadvantage en route to posting their fifth straight win against a loss for 15 points, just two markers behind leader National University.
The Golden Booters remained No. 5 with seven points after absorbing their fourth defeat in seven games.
With the loss, UST’s title-retention bid was also threatened as it stayed five points away from No. 4 College of Saint Benilde.
Following a scoreless first half, Dionisio Busmion netted the opener for UST in the 52nd minute but UP’s Christian Lapas made no mistake from the penalty spot to equalize in the 56th.
Conrado Dimacali immediately reclaimed the lead for the defending España-based champions a minute later.
