CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY � Rizal-Smart San Beda FC and Columbia FC-Davao scored impressive 1-0 wins over their respective rivals to gain slots in the PFF-Smart Club Championships semifinals.
San Beda team captain David Franz Fornea tapped in the marginal goal in the 49th minute to follow up Phil Younghusband�s rebounded header against Laos FC-Leyte.
In the football action that took place at the Don Mariano Pelaez Memorial Sports Complex, FC-Leyte was reduced to 9 men after the ejection of William Diaz and Nigerian Remy Alain-Sery.
Diaz and Sery were issued 2 yellow cards each following a highly physical encounter between 4 of their teammates and 6 San Beda players.
Younghusband was also among those who incurred yellow cards.
�They (Laos) were not sporting,� Younghusband added.
�Certainly it wasn�t pretty,� echoed his elder brother James, who himself got knocked down from behind in the middle of the second half.
At the Barotac Nuevo pitch In Iloilo, Columbia�s Nur Mentang scored a long shot in the 33rd minute to beat Pachanga.
