In a test of its championship credentials, Dynamic Herb Cebu was able to earn a 1-1 draw against United City in the 2022 Copa Paulino Alcantara, Sunday evening, at the PFF National Training Center in Carmona, Cavite.

Coach Mehmet Kakil’s men were able to level the contest in the second half. Steven Patalinghug, who represented University of San Carlos in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc, turned the ball into the net in the 70th minute as he was unmarked in the United City box.
