5th ECCP Soccer Cup

DISCO DISCO! :p

Fresh from their podium finish in last month’s Liga Futsalista, the AFC continues to make its presence known by joining another external league. The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) in partnership with Siemens organized the 5th ECCP Soccer Cup held last November 14 at the European International School (EIS), Parañaque City. Participating teams from ECCP member companies were split into two brackets: the AFC Galacticos were pitted against Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP) Mighty Cranes, Siemens Strikers, and Peninsula Manila; the AFC Huelguistas were to battle the LTP Hot Wings, For your EIS Only, Team Filtra, and Popeye D’ Sailor Maersk. As the sun rose, teams started filing into the fields, ready to start the games. After the opening ceremonies, the competition began. The hot noon sun accompanied the end of the eliminations, and hopes were high for an all-AFC finals as both teams topped their respective brackets. In the crossover semifinals, the AFC Galacticos scored a goal over For Your EIS Only, while defending champs Siemens Strikers refused to step down, denying the AFC Huelguistas a chance at the finals.

The championship then featured first-time entrants AFC Galacticos against last year’s top team Siemens Strikers. It was a tense first half as the afternoon sun took its toll on the tiring players. Attempts were made and missed, as the crowd collectively cheered and groaned. Halftime had both teams talking strategy to break the draw, and later the referee’s whistle signaled both teams to return to the field. After a few more scuffles, the AFC Galacticos executed a high throw-in followed through by a header past the Siemens goalkeeper, to seal the deal of the championship. To top off the AFC Galacticos’ championship, our own Captain Ryan Lim who scored the golden goal was also awarded Best Male Player, amid cheers from all the teams.
