April 10, 2007 | 12:00am
Team Cebu City, the Central Visayas Regional Athletics Association (CVIRAA) champions, reaffirmed its dominance by capturing the championship title in the 2007 10th Aboitiz-CebuFA Men's Cup (Division 2) championship over Cebu International School (CIS), 5-4, at the San Roque field in Brgy. Subangdaku, Mandaue City.
It was Jundie Romero, who spelled the difference in the game, as he banged in the winning goal in the penalty shoot out.
The regulation game ended at 2-all.
In the regulation time, CIS' Joshua Fegidero made the first goal at the fifth minute and TCC's Ryan Bordalba followed back at the 15th to equal the score, 1-1.
Later, Romero steered the team to a 2-1 lead after his goal at the 93rd but CIS responded behind the efforts of Wayne Kim at 100th, to again level the score, 2-2.
In the penalty shoot-out, first two kickers of CIS, namely Delvon Park and Paulo Cases, and TCC's, Ryan Bordalba and Jordan Diao, successfully entered the net, to make it 2-all.
Then, CIS' Jesus Singson failed in his attempt, paving the way for TCC to grab the upperhand, 3-2, courtesy of TJ Mateo.
However, veteran Michael Sharpe, a member of the RP U-21 team, retaliated for CIS as he easily banged in his shot to again tie the score, 3-all.
The battle went tougher as TCC's RJ Sembrano failed and the fifth kickers, Joshua Fegidero of CIS and Andrian Mijaran of TCC, both hit their targets for a 4-all scoring.
Thus, the fate of the team relied on the sixth and last kickers.
But the CVIRAA champions had the last hurrah after Romero completed the conquest at 5-4 with CIS' Marco Asteras missing his shot.
