QUEZON CITY--Chester Pabualan scored two goals as defending champion Far Eastern University-Diliman overpowered Ateneo, 6-0, to stay perfect in the UAAP juniors football tournament at the Moro Lorenzo Football Field over the weekend.

The Baby Tamaraws were dominating in the final first round match to gain a maximum of nine points on top of the table.

A Bukidnon native who is the league’s leading scorer with three goals, Pabualan opened the scoring on the 13th minute and struck another just before fulltime.

Other FEU-FERN goalscorers were Nikko Jay Caytor (46th), Orian Togores (64th), Christian Bacara (74th) and John Villaseñor (84th).

De La Salle-Zobel and University of Santo Tomas battled to a scoreless standoff in the other match.
