MANILA, Philippines – Manila Nomads blasted sister team Nomads Braves, 4-0, in the AIA 7s Football Tournament at the McKinley Hill Stadium.
The win kept Manila Nomads within striking distance of Women’s Division 1 leaders, Kaya, who slipped past Azzurri Verde, 1-0.
By virtue of Kaya’s three wins, they stayed atop the table with a 3-0 record that is good for nine points in spite of Manila Nomads owning a superior goal difference.
At 2-1, Manila Nomads has scored 17 goals but conceded four for a goal difference of 13.
Kaya has actually scored only nine goals, behind Manila Nomads’ 17 and Manila Digger’s 10, but because of their defense where they only conceded two goals — the best in the division — they remain atop the standings.
