MANILA--United City sent Maharlika Manila back to earth in the most devastating fashion, rolling to a 10-0 win in their PFL Tuesday nightcap at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona.

The bludgeoning began in the 16th minute when Bienve Maranon found Mike Ott wide open with only Henri Fong to beat to dish the assist for United City's first goal.

Maranon then joined the scoring barrage as Ott returned the favor by feeding him the ball for the 19th minute goal.

Stephan Schrock then went to work, blitzing past the Maharlika Manila backline for a 33rd minute strike that made it 3-0 for United City.

OJ Porteria then entered the scoreboard with a 39th minute goal that now put United City up front, 4-0.

Early into the second half, Robert Mendy received a cross from Pika Minegishi and slotted in United City's fifth goal.

Mendy quickly got his brace with a 57th minute goal this time off a Porteria feed.

Mendy completed his hat trick with a 63rd minute goal that widened the gap further for United City.

Porteria then got his own brace after drilling in a 71st minute penalty to make it 8-0.

Ott also got his brace after making it 9-0 in the 73rd minute.

Porteria eventually completed his own hat trick with the final goal of the match in the 75th minute.

United City remains perfect in the bubble season at 3-0 for nine points with two matches to play.

Maharlika Manila, on the other hand, dropped to fourth place on an inferior goal difference with the Azkals Development Team, 2-0 winner over Mendiola earlier Wednesday, with its Saturday win against Stallion Laguna the only three points it can show so far.
