UFL: Kaya takes on Meralco
By Cedelf P. TupasPhilippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Unbeaten Kaya tries to settle an old score against Loyola Meralco Saturday in the United Football League at the Rizal Stadium.
Kickoff is at 4 p.m. with Kaya seeking payback for its 4-5 loss to Loyola in the UFL Cup last December.
The loss still stings for Kaya, which wasted a three-goal halftime lead and bowed out of the tournament.
“It’s the kind of loss that you’ll remember for the rest of your life,” Kaya midfielder Lexton Moy said.
Kaya, which stretched its unbeaten start to three with a 2-1 nipping of Navy last Sunday, can grab top spot ahead of Stallion with a win Saturday.
Loyola captain James Younghusband hopes the Sparks will be equal to the challenge.
“I think everyone is looking forward to the game and we know Kaya will be out for revenge,” said Younghusband, who struck twice in the 4-3 win over Global Wednesday.
Loyola sits at third on the table after splitting its last two games. The Sparks bowed to pacesetter Stallion, 1-4, last Saturday.
The Sparks will have co-leading scorer Phil Younghusband back from suspension.
