However, the host squad went on a scoring spree in the second half by exploiting the slacking defense of the PAF.
Right after the second-half tip-off, the Cebu Football Club stretched their lead to 2-0 after the PAF suffered an own goal in the 46th minute.
They made it 3-0 from Rintaro Hama’s 64th-minute header from Mijland’s pass.
Mijland then scored his goal in the 89th minute from a mid-range strike making it 4-0.
Yoji Selman sealed their lopsided win with a breakaway goal in the 90th minute.
