KENSHIRO Daniels scored the lone goal as Kaya FC-Iloilo captured its second Copa Paulino Alcantara, beating Azkals Development Team, 1-0, on Friday night at the Philippine Football Federation National Training Center in Carmona, Cavite.
Daniels knocked in the goal in the 47th minute, which proved enough for Kaya to repeat as Copa winner. Daniels somehow got a foot on a high ball by Simone Rota despite the defense of Mar Diano to break the scoring drought.
