UAAP Men’s Football: Edgar Aban’s scoring spree continues as FEU dominates UE


Far Eastern University dominated University of the East, securing a 4-0 victory to notch its second consecutive win in the UAAP Season 87 Collegiate Men’s Football Tournament on Thursday at the UP Diliman Football Stadium.

With this win, the Tamaraws climbed to six points in the standings, bolstered by an impressive performance from rookie sensation Edgar Aban Jr. and a clean sheet from goalkeeper Allan Diansuy.

“It is important to win; it is important to have good results,” said FEU’s Spanish coach, Roman Oliver.

“To be honest, today we had some problems. I don’t know if it’s because of the rain; I don’t know why. In the end, we found a solution. We found a way to attack. We are happy,” he added.

“Six points in two matches – so perfect start.”

A 19-year-old native of Masbate and a product of the esteemed FEU-Diliman high school program, Aban was outstanding, increasing his goal tally to four.

In the first half, played under light showers, Aban opened the scoring with a curling shot over UE’s goalkeeper Mark Maghinay in the 25th minute.

He then doubled the lead just before halftime, finding the net again in the 43rd minute.

Aban had previously netted a brace in FEU’s season-opening 3-0 victory over Adamson University.
