THE top two teams of the collegiate division of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. football tournament, the undefeated University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) and the University of San Carlos (USC), will clash today at the USC-Technology Center football field to determine which team will occupy the No. 1 spot this week.

USPF, which has nine points in three games, will be without brilliant striker and the league’s top scorer Rene Sanchez Jr. going in to today’s match against USC.

Sanchez will be serving his one-game suspension today after he accumulated two yellow cards in their 3-0 victory over the University of Cebu. Meanwhile, it will be a must win situation for UC to stay in the semifinal race as it battles the third-ranked University of San Jose-Recoletos squad.

UC has a one point, while USJR has four points.

On the other hand, it will be a walk in the park for UV as it faces the winless Cebu Doctors University.

UV’s three key players—team captain Frederick Alazas, striker Junard Aguilar and midfielder Julius Acre—will be lacing up their cleats as they are cleared to play for today’s game. The three sat out their previous game after accumulating two yellow cards. The games will start at 9 a.m. (EKA)
