Jorrel Aristorenas and William Winter netted two goals each as Loyola FC recorded their second win of the season with an 8-0 demolition of Manila Montet FC in the opening fixture of Saturday’s Philippines Football League at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
Montet, who have yet to garner any point since joining the league, entered the game hopeful of ending their five-game drought only to run a Loyola side determined to make a run of its own.
Winter opened the scoring in the 17th minute from a through ball by Theodore Travis in the box. Jayvee Kallukuran quickly doubled Loyola’s lead five minutes later. The midfielder rifled from outside the box that found the back of the net stunning the Montet goalkeeper Raphael Mamanong.
Loyola added a third goal as Winter collected his brace in the 35th minute.. The midfielder was at the right place at the right time to slot home by Jayvee Kallukuran’s deflected strike.
Rupert Baña joined the goalfest fourth in the 45th minute by converting another rebound from Mamanong’s initial save before Charlie Beaton added a fifth goal on the stroke of halftime.
Loyola proved unrelenting as Aristorenas scored the first of two goals in the 69th minute from a tap-in off a Charlie Beaton through-ball. Emmanuel Kante converted a penalty in the 74th minute to make it a seven-goal lead for Loyola, before Aristorenas completed his brace nine minutes from time.
Loyola moved up to ninth place on the table surpassing Maharlika Taguig FC and Tuloy FC while Manila Montet remained at the bottom.
