The University of the Philippines has moved atop the Division I leaderboard of the Ang Liga tournament at the close of Saturday football action inside the La Salle Science and Technology Complex in Canlubang.
The Maroon Booters did so by eking out a 1-0 victory over Ateneo in the morning matchup, extending their streak to six matches and taking a two-point lead over NU with a game in hand.
Recent U22 national team call-up Christian Lapas scored the only goal of the match in the 17th minute, converting a penalty caused by a Jayrah Rocha handball inside the box.
Jarvey Gayoso would have a crack at a late equalizer, but his free kick hit the left post, preventing the UAAP champions from stealing a point.
The afternoon matches saw San Beda dominate their respective opposition.
In Div II play, the Red Booters of Taytay pounced on the Altalettes en route to a 5-0 victory. The defending NCAA HS champions pounded their opposition for four goals in the second half after being limited to just one in the first.
Mariano Suba contributed a hat trick in the win, which moves ahead in the Golden Boot race in Div II. Jimmar Castillo and Maurice Himol were the other scorers, as San Beda moved ahead of idle Don Bosco Technical College in the standings.
Meanwhile, the Red Booters of Mendiola followed suit, and issued their own 8-1 pounding of EAC in the final matchup of the day.
Five Bedans were on the scoresheet against the hapless Generals, led by a hat trick from U22 national team call-up Nimrod Balabat. James Eje added a brace, while completing the cast of scorers are Mark Anthony Magtoto, Jepoy Abada, and Aljo Zabala.
EAC's lone goal came from Keezer Oquias just before first half injury time.
San Beda's win snaps a two-game losing skid and moves them ahead of UST in the standings at fifth place.
