Warming up for the Southeast Asian Games, ADT got off to a dream start when Andres Aldeguer, son of former basketball star Dino Aldeguer, scored in the 10th minute off an assist from Pocholo Bugas.

But it was all Kaya from there with Audie Menzi equalizing in the 29th minute just moments after Dennis Chung almost doubled the lead for ADT only to be denied by Kaya goalkeeper Zach Banzon.

ADT remained in fourth spot with 21 points after coach Stephan Schrock’s side lost its second straight match. The core of the ADT side will banner the Under-23 squad for the SEA Games in Cambodia in May.

Japanese midfielder Horikoshi who also set up Menzi’s goal also provided the second for Gayoso, who burst into space and fired past Quincy Kammeraad from close range.
