MANILA, Philippines - Green Archers United FC ended a string of heartbreakers as it humbled Army Fritz & Maxziol FC, 3-1, to snare its first victory in the First Division of the United Football League at the University of Makati field Monday night.
After scrambling for goals in the first 40 minutes, the Hans Smith-mentored Archers finally hit their strides and came through with a couple of goals in just a three-minute span courtesy of Gabriel Agbayomi Olowoyeye and Shaq Shapay Jhonson.

Azkals help Global deal Stallion first UFL loss
Global FC used a workmanlike performance to slow down the vaunted Stallion Giligan’s attack and carve out a hard-earned 1-0 victory in the United Football League Saturday at University of Makati.
Izo Elhabbib scored the lone goal in the game at the 57th minute, but it was the efforts of national players Misagh Bahadoran, Carli de Murga, and brothers Angel and Juan Luis Guirado as well as Japanese midfielder Yu Hoshide that allowed Global to turn the tables on Stallion, which lost for the first time in league play this season.
Shortly after Elhabbib’s goal, Stallion suffered another blow when skipper Reuben Doctora Jr., also a member of the Azkals, suffered what looked like a left knee injury. With its captain subbed out, Stallion tried to get on board, but were continually frustrated by a disciplined Global defense....
