QUALITY CLAIMS MEN’S FUTSAL TITLE

Brandon Auayan with the hat-trick

PRESS RELEASE – Quality Distributors FC avenged a regular season loss against the Islanders FC to claim the 2022 Budweiser Men’s Futsal League title Thursday evening at the Astumbo gym.

Brandon Auayan was the hat-trick hero for Quality on offense, netting his team’s goals in the 3-1 contest against the Islanders in the league’s championship match.

Coming into the league playoffs, the Islanders led the league in goals scored, with 40 in four matches played – including seven against Quality during the regular season – but a stellar performance by Quality’s goalkeeper Jeroen Bos stifled the Islanders’ attack on the opposite end of the court in the title match. The Islanders managed just one goal – its fewest in a match during the 2022 season – about seven minutes into the second half of the match by Noah Duenas.
