Newcomer Maharlika-Manila struck twice in the second half to stun Stallion-Laguna, 2-1, Saturday morning in the Philippines Football League at the PFF National Training Center in Carmona, Cavite.
Jeremy Theuer quickly came off the bench to score the winner in the 75th minute as the Maharlika produced an upset over the fancied Stallion side which made its debut in the shortened fourth season of the Qatar Airways-sponsored league.
Maharlika prevailed after cancelling Ibrahim N’dour’s first half opener with an equalizer by substitute Jose Montelibano seven minutes after the restart.
