UFL postpones Kaya-Stallion replay

by Alder Almo


The United Football League (UFL) deferred the scheduled continuation of the match between Kaya and Stallion to a later date instead of tomorrow (Tuesday).

UFL Chairman Santi Araneta confirmed this in his Twitter account (@santiaraneta) this afternoon.

"Due to the severity and impact to future games, the UFL Technical Committee had opted to defer the Kaya-Stallion game tomorrow," Araneta said.

"Both Kaya and Stallion agree that this decision is not about the outcome of last Saturday's game but for the future UFL games to come," he added.

This morning, it was announced that Kaya and Stallion will resume from the 64th minute where the match was stopped due to lightning and thunderstorm.

UFL, however, had to recall its decision due to "no hard rule on the incident and too many loose ends" as Araneta further explained in his tweets.

Kaya was leading 1-nil on a first half goal by Eric "The Dagger" Dagroh in the match until lightning and thunderstorm plagued the venue prompting the match commissioner to stop it and observe the weather condition.

Some minutes later, both teams agreed to postpone it indefinitely as the weather did not cooperate.

Global caught Kaya on top with 18 points each after its 5-3 win over defending champion Air Force-Phoenix in the first match last Saturday.
