Another narrow, disciplined performance saw the defending champions grind out three points to maintain pressure at the top of the league table. In a tough away fixture, UP demonstrated the hallmark of champions by winning despite not being at their fluid best. The only goal of the game likely came from a sustained period of pressure or a swift counter-attack, with the UP defense then standing firm against FEU's attempts to find an equalizer.
