QUEEN City United drew its opening match in the United Football League Division 2, 1-1, against Diliman Victory Liner on the artificial turf at Global City.
Coach Mario Ceniza said playing on the artificial turf for the first time was a unique experience for Queen City and the players were not used to it.
After conceding a goal in the first minute, Queen City managed to regain their composure.
�Nakalitan mi, pati ang mga players. Maayo ning kontra kay nakaduwa na sila last time diri,� said Ceniza.
However, the early lead did not bother the revamped squad of QCU with recruit Hanesin Prince Anthony converting a penalty in the 30th minute after Junard Aguilar was fouled.
�After that unexpected goal, the boys held their composure and focused on the game,� said Ceniza. �I commend the boys because they were not discouraged. Even if they conceded in the first minute, they fought back. They wanted to win but it was just very unlucky.�
