Emelio Caligdong, Air Force’s most prolific scorer, squeezed past his defenders to score two key goals, the last coming in the 35th minute that tied the contest.

Caligdong’s late-game blast enabled the Armymen, who drew two goals each from Jeffrey Lobaton and Luis Brillantes, enabled Air Force to stay at close second with a 5-1-1 (win-draw-loss) mark.

The Armymen, meanwhile, retained their grip of the solo lead at 6-1-0.

Earlier, Lions Football Club nipped Los Borrachos, 4-3, to climb into a tie for second with El Magistrado (4-0-2) in the men’s second division-B. Los Borrachos dropped to fourth with a 3-0-3 mark.

Pasargad slid to 2-1-4, and Kaya dropped to 2-0-5.

Also grabbing the solo leadership in the women’s side was Irok, which waylaid Miriam College, 16-1, in one of two women’s matches last Sunday.

Angie Servillon and Marigen Ariel combined for five goals for Irok, while six other girls, including model China Cojuangco, chipped in a goal apiece in the lopsided match.
