Pido Jarencio and Greg Slaughter
Pido draws flak for endgame decision
Pido Jarencio drew flak for Northport's defensive setup in the endgame as a decision to replace Greg Slaughter with Sydney Onwubere ‘backfired.’
Calvin Abueva delivered the winner, a short stab at the buzzer, as Magnolia nipped Northport on Friday.
Netizens were quick to cite Jarencio's decision to replace Slaughter with Onwubere as the inbound defender.
Dela Rosa made the pass to Abueva that led to the winning shot.
