With neither side managing to get on the board during regulation, a thirty-minute extension was needed. Three minutes into extra time, a William Nyakwe own-goal off a Stephan Schrock attempt gave the Pinoy side the upper hand, but Shan&#x27;s Patrick Asare found the equalizer just six minutes later. After the thirty-minute extension, Ceres and Shan once again found themselves at a stalemate, prompting a penalty shootout. Penalty conversions from Carlie De Murga, Schrock, Mike Ott, and Bienve Marañon sealed the deal for The Busmen, who headed to the next preliminary round. There, they&#x27;ll be facing Australian club Brisbane Roar for a chance to advance to the playoff round. Ceres meets Brisbane at the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre in Brisbane, Australia on Monday, January 23rd.
