1pm - UC vs. DBBH
3pm - Hiroshi vs. USC
The game saw the first half with both teams still looking for a goal, and Jerome Batad found a chance to score and succeeded, giving UC its lone goal in the 73rd minute.
Not to be outdone, Hiroshi's Jundy Romero managed to put his team on the go after scoring at the 81st minute, to tie the count at 1-all.
With the game tied at 1-all in the last 10 minutes, the intensity of the game heated up, so was UC's Jessie Roy Melgo, who failed to control his temper and was slapped with a red card in the 81st minute.
Melgo was ejected after complaining too much with the referee's decision.
Even with that, however, Hiroshi failed to take advantage of it and settled the game with a draw.
On the other hand, USC is expected to put up a good fight against Hiroshi after enjoying another win via default against the San Roque Football Club.
SRFC failed to report with a complete line-up as most of their players were said to be having an examination and were not allowed by the school administration to go out and play.
USC trails Hiroshi with 2-1-1 making it a must-win situation for both USC and Hiroshi.
If Hiroshi losses to USC, and UC wins, a three-way tie will occur with the matter to be settled through its total points, if not via the goal difference.
If UC losses in the final outing in this Visayas regional elimination for the men's under-19, and USC wins against Hiroshi, then USC gets to represent Cebu.
The scenario also applies if Hiroshi wins the match against USC.
