Solido-Fil Chi, AA FC win DFA openers

The father-son tandem of Buboy and Mikoh Arrieta combined for three markers to power Solido-Fil Chi to a devastating 7-2 victory over FC Sonriente as the DFA Second Divvision Football League formally kicked off over the weekend at the Tionko Field.

The pony-tailed Buboy opened up the scoring for Solido-Fil Chi as he found the net in the 14^th minute. The marker proved to be the tall order a son had to outdo in the process but son Mikoh was up to the challenge bettering the marksmanship of his father with goals in the 20^th and 34^th in between one scored by Jay Miguel in the 27th.

Solido’s other markers came from Jepony Agustin in the 49^th, Gary Ocampo in the 51^st, and Mark Descallar (54^th). FC Sonriente could only respond with a couple of goals courtesy of Vincent Baquillos (19^th) and Ruben Vargas (60^th).

In another opening day match of this event organized by the Davao Football Association (DFA), AA FC also went on a headstart with a 2-1 win over Black Knights. Former national team mainstay Melchor Anzures rammed home the first goal in the 53^rd and teammate Zidoy Ibarra added another eight minutes later for a 2-0 cushion. Black Knights’ lone goal came via penalty in the 73^rd.

In other matches, Metro TMS drew its first match with PNP 3-3, and Club 34B also drew with Belisario Futbol 3-3. George Valenzona booted in a pair of markers in the 14^th and 85^th and Christian Ea added one in the 65^th but their efforts were matched eually by Ian Pongo (13, 80) and Monaster Arimaw (36).
