IT'LL be a rematch of last year’s finals as Don Bosco Technology Center (DBTC) defends its title against rival Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) in the Boys Under-15 division of the 18th Aboitiz Football Cup.
DBTC earned another ticket to the finals after an easy 7-1 win over Abellana National School (ANS) yesterday at the Magone pitch of DBTC.
Dustin Ramirez scored the opening goal for DBTC in the 23rd minute. ANS, however, equalized six minutes later with a goal by Kenneth Niaga.
