VANTAGE FC remained unbeaten in the men’s open division of the Mayor’s Cup Football Invitational after scoring a 1-0 win over Samba FC yesterday at the Don Bosco Technological Center (DBTC) football field in Brgy. Punta Princesa, Cebu City.
Japanese skipper Hayato Fukoi was responsible for the victory as his goal in the 65th minute was enough to give the team its fourth straight win and hand Samba FC its first loss.
