The night came in a shocking scenario when Stallions Laguna FC held a draw against the defending champions and the current no. 1 ASEAN team, Ceres Negros FC on their opening night at Rizal Memorial Football Stadium. In fact, Ceres Negros FC were trailing at the half.
A soft backward pass created a chance for Abou Sy to run freely into the goal. Roland Muller's defending isn't enough to stop the strike that hit the upper left corner of the goal. It was then equalized by a cross shot from Martin Steuble to tie (1-1).
A crucial own goal by Carli De Murga from a goal keeping mistake by Muller turned the tables again ( 2 - 1 ) in favor of Stallions. But during the start of the 2nd half, a beautiful header on the 55th minute by Marañon made them even the scoreline. It was a combination of a beautiful cross and even more beautiful header.
