College of St. Benilde played the “beautiful game” the way it should be and romped to an 11-1 win over Emilio Aguinaldo College in the NCAA football tournament Thursday night at the Rizal Memorial pitch.
CSB’s dominant win overshadowed Arellano University’s stunning 2-1 win over defending champion San Beda, 2-1.
The prolific pair of Vincent Erik Lovitos and Daniel Caesar Liozo posted a hat-trick each in the first half to set the tone for a blowout win as the Blazers took the lead – thanks to Arellano’s massive win.
Renz Joseph Tulayba contributed a brace while Nicolas Ryan Cruz, Miguel Alfonso Artillera, and Moisel Angelo Alforque also delivered for CSB, which bounced back from a scoreless draw with Lyceum on Tuesday.
The Generals prevented a shutout with Luther John Contreras coming through in injury time.
