The opening games in RIFA for HEdCen was a nightmare. Despite a good performance by HEdCen Midgets A, they always came short with their attacks and Marist made sure their chances were converted to goals. Lead by Rafanan, Marist attacked the left wing early in the 1st half and delivered a cross that blasted into the goal giving Marist an early lead. HEdCen hit the post 5 times and had several opportunities to score goals including 1 vs 1 situations with the keeper. HEdCen just kept falling short with the finishing. HEdCen played very well. We just lack that killer instinct and I believe that they will get that in the do or die game against Ateneo 2 weeks from now.

In the highschool match, the only advantage HEdCen had was size. It wasn’t enough. Small FEU players overwhelmed us with skill, endurance, passing, and hard defending. They showed how much our highschool lacked in physical conditioning, and team play. Hopefully, we’d do better against the other schools.
