GLOBAL notched a league record eighth straight victory by blanking Pasargad, 4-0, yesterday to move five points clear at the top of the United Football League at the University of Makati.

Filipino-German winger Patrick Reichelt scored twice, while Cameroonian striker Alex Obiang and Izo El-Habbib contributed a goal each as Global jacked up its tally to 30 points.

Later, Stallion roared to back-to-back victories while dealing Air Force Phoenix’s title-retention hopes a heavy blow with a 2-1 win.
