MANILA--Meralco Manila's "Ambition Tour" reached a
huge milestone.
Manila proved it can win against its former pillars James and Phil Younghusband, downing
Davao, 2-0, at the Rizal Memorial Stadium on Saturday night.
Second half goals from Tahj Minniecon and Jake Morallo
delivered the goods for Manila as the club stretched its lead over Makati, which won
earlier Saturday against Laguna, back to six points in the league table.
Minniecon broke the goalless deadlock in the 52nd minute
with a powerful strike from the right side of the box.
Morallo then sealed the win with a timely header off a Tyler
Matas cross in the 83rd minute.
Manila is now on 44 points and within eight points of clinching the first seat in the playoffs.
Davao is stuck at seven points and is now the only club without a win after Ilocos' breakthrough win over Marikina in Biñan. Davao, however, is still ahead of Ilocos on goal difference.
