Ott gives United City second CPA title

MANILA (24 May 2022) – A second-half strike from Mike Ott gave United City FC their second Copa Paulino Alcantara title in five years following their 2-1 win over Kaya Iloilo FC in the final that was played at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona.

But United City did not have it all their way when they found themselves trailing 2-1 at the break.

A goal each from Robert Lopez in the 14^th minute and then another from Jesus Melliza in the 32^nd minute gave Kaya the confidence after cancelling out UCFC’s 11^th minute lead from Kenshiro Daniels.

But the pep talk during the breather turned things around for UCFC when Hikaru Minegishi nailed the equaliser just seven minutes into the second half before Ott struck the sweet winner in the 69^th minute of play.
