14th Acosta Cup: SOYA vs. SIKAT ALAB Match


Agot Caps Dramatic SOYA Comeback


Goals from Nikita Yee, Zulieka Yee and Danton Agot saw SOYA comeback from a heartbreaking defeat from PCT to 4-0 win in a dramatic match with SIKAT ALAB, at Tiongko Field, Davao City last Saturday November 4, 2017. 

Danton Agot and Nikita Yee gave SOYA a commanding 2-0 lead early in the first half and prevented SIKAT ALAB from scoring a goal up to the second half, finishing a 4-0 win.


Danton Agot dominated most of the score with 2 out of 4 goals garnered for SOYA making her the Player of the Match.


SOYA Coach Merlo Albano admitted that though her players had been playing for the Acosta Cup for five years now, they still have more to learn and to improve as they are still very young – 13 years old as the youngest. SOYA players are dominated by high school students of different schools playing together to earn the spot for the 14th Acosta Cup Championship Game this coming November 19, 2017.
