La Salle unleashed the brunt of its attack on Adamson to score a comprehensive 6-0 win Thursday in the UAAP men’s football tournament at Ateneo’s Moro Lorenzo Field in Quezon City.
Greggy Yang netted a hat trick while Jed Diamante, Gelo Diamante and Yoshi Koizumi also found the back of the net for the Archers, who extended their lead at the top to five points after nailing their fifth win in six games.
Archers coach Hans Smit refused to be carried away by his team’s strong start, noting that a similar trend happened last season when La Salle fell short in the finals.
“I will never be delighted until after the tournament,” said Smit, whose team has pooled 16 points.
Later, defending champion Far Eastern U snapped a two-game slide with a 5-1 demolition of University of the East.
A brace from Val Jurao and goals from rookie Dave Deloso, Dominique Canonigo and Reymart Cubon secured maximum points for the Tamaraws, who rose to fourth spot with eight points.
