Stallion Laguna drops 7 on Garelli to score own PFL opener blowout

By Ivan Saldajeno

MANILA--Stallion Laguna matched the largest win so far in the new PFL season after dealing Don Bosco Garelli United a 7-0 beating on Sunday at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.

A day after Mendiola made an early statement with a 7-0 rout of returning Air Force, Stallion Laguna gave Garelli a rude welcome to the PFL beginning with a seventh-minute goal from Bezerra Duorado.

Finn McDaniel made it 2-0 in the 14th minute as Goys Cabra could not save his shot as the ball slipped to his hands and into the goal.

Gab Silva then made a clinical finish off a Juan Trujillo short cross just before the halftime whistle to make it 3-0.

Trujillo later scored on his own in the 59th minute after flicking the ball past Cabra to make it 4-0.

Julian Stifano then sparked Stallion Laguna's late barrage with an 80th-minute goal to make it 5-0.

Junior Sam then scored a putback goal off Christian Schaffner's first attempt that Cabra saved in the 82nd minute to make it 6-0.

Sam later capped the goal-fest by completing his brace in the 87th minute.
