BIÑAN CITY — Global Makati got its first win in the Philippines Football League season after beating Air Force, 3-1, at the Biñan Football Stadium on Wednesday.
Global Makati made up for a 32nd minute own goal from James Dorego with a late second half comeback to steal the win.
Kennedy Uzoka launched a rocket goal in the 73rd minute to tie the match, while Marvin Bricenio scored the go-ahead goal in the 86th minute.

Mintah then scored in the 85th minute to spark Kaya Iloilo's breakaway, and he completed a hat trick with an 89th minute goal, right after Alen Angeles struck one more time for Mendiola. (PNA)
