Loyola found a lifeline in the 44th minute, William Winter capitalized on a defensive error, striking from outside the box to reduce the deficit.
However, Loyola’s celebrations was short-lived as Jahanbaksh Taher responded in stoppage time with a header off Schrock’s delivery to make it 3-1 at the break.
Taguig extended their dominance in the second half. Arnel Amita fired in a through ball off another Schrock delivery in the 50th minute.
Substitute Andres Aldeguer also netted a brace in the 68th and 79th minutes, before Misagh Bahadoran capped off the rout with his first goal of the season, with a header off Schrock’s corner in second half stoppage time.
