Global, Ilocos face off at Abellana

Global Cebu FC looks to build on their impressive July this afternoon, as the Visayan side hosts Ilocos United at the Cebu City Sports Complex.

Currently in solo third place with 25 points off a 7-4-2 record, Global just two points behind the leaders Kaya FC-Makati and FC Meralco Manila.  In contrast, Ilocos is still searching for its first official victory as a club, currently at the cellar with only three draws to show.

In spite of the contrast in form between both teams, Global Cebu FC head coach Akbar Nawas remains wary about a potential upset, says "It's always dangerous to play against a team searching for win. If we go out there without the right frame of mind, we might be in trouble."

Adam Mitter admits that the team has been unlucky the past couple of weeks. However, he says, "A win is just around the corner if we continue to do what we are doing." Ilocos head coach Ian Gillan still believes that the team remains on the right track, however.

Reports are out there that Rufo Sanchez has been cleared to play later. That can't be said for Anton del Rosario and Paul Mulders, who are suspended this afternoon.

Kickoff for the match is at 4pm, and if one can't get to the venue, there is streaming available.



There is another scheduled Philippines Football League matchup tonight, as 1 meets 2, with FC Meralco Manila hosting Kaya FC-Makati at Rizal Memorial Football Stadium at 7pm.
