Kaya-Iloilo Completes Campaign Sweep at SM Mall of Asia
Kaya-Iloilo secured the PFF Women’s League title following a 2-0 victory against Far Eastern University (FEU) at the SM Mall of Asia Football Pitch. The result concluded a campaign where Kaya-Iloilo accumulated 21 points across seven fixtures without dropping points. FEU finished second on 12 points, De La Salle University (DLSU) placed third with seven points, and the University of the Philippines (UP) finished fourth with one point.
Spatial Structure and Decisive Vectors
In the final fixture, Kaya-Iloilo deployed a vertical shape that forced FEU into a low block. Initial possession rotations saw 4 and 2 establish width along the touchlines while 8 and 10 operated between lines to disrupt FEU's central compact structure. 9 executed diagonal runs between the center-backs, opening channels for 11 to cut into the half-space. The breakthrough materialized in the 40th minute when Alex Carpio converted from inside the penalty area. Carpio recorded a second goal in the 87th minute to confirm the 2-0 scoreline.
Statistical Variance and Spatial Metrics
Shot location dispersion for the match showed Kaya-Iloilo registering 68% of attempts from inside the penalty box, compared to FEU’s 22% rate within the central 18-yard sector. Pressed turnover distance deviated by +4.2 meters from the season baseline, shifting the average turnover coordinate to 38.4 meters from the opponent goal line. Kaya-Iloilo pass completion residuals settled at +5.8% above predicted spatial completion probability, driven primarily by progressive vertical distributions into the attacking third.
