Handout photo</div>MANILA -- Philippine football legend Stephan Schröck showed the way as the Azkals Development Club outlasted Enderun Colleges, 5-4, to seize the men&#x27;s division title in the inaugural season of the PFF Futsaliga.Now 39-years-old, Schröck rolled back the clock to put together a performance to remember, netting a hat-trick in the gold medal game.Meanwhile, ADC also unveiled a new star in Christian Gabriel Vendiola, who showcased his all-around game and finished with 15 goals in the tournament en route to winning Most Valuable Player honors.&quot;I&#x27;m just a crazy old man who loves football so much and wants to play everything there is, and that keeps me going,&quot; said Schröck, who played for the Philippine men&#x27;s national football team for 13 years.&quot;Muntik pa kaming mahabol. Pero ginawa pa rin namin yung best para ma-secure yung lamang namin,&quot; said Vendiola, for his part.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/othersports/2026/5/22/pff-looks-to-expand-futsaliga-after-inaugural-season-1913">READ: PFF looks to expand Futsaliga after inaugural season</a></div>Schröck broke the deadlock after ten minutes of back-and-forth action, slipping past the defense of Dominic Tom on the left wing and firing a shot from an acute angle that bounced off goalkeeper Kiefer Gensaya and into the net.Four minutes later, Schröck doubled the lead after drawing a foul from Shane Clemente on the left flank, blasting the ensuing free kick from well beyond the penalty arc.ADC appeared to put the game firmly under control in the 17th minute when Bryan Buergo finished through the legs of Gensaya off a transition pass from Vendiola.But Enderun refused to back down: Ghanaian speedster Theo Appiah reignited hope for the Titans before halftime, scoring off a quick one-two play with Tom.Still, Schröck and Vendiola continued to torment the Enderun defense. The pair combined beautifully in the 29th minute, leading to Schröck&#x27;s hat-trick and restoring ADC&#x27;s commanding lead.Enderun showed no signs of giving up. In the 32nd minute, Clemente unleashed a long-range strike from midcourt, while Appiah later cut ADC&#x27;s advantage to just one goal after another clinical one-two exchange with Sean Francisco.Buergo restored ADC&#x27;s breathing room immediately after a timeout, finishing off Vendiola&#x27;s third assist of the night. Yet Enderun continued to attack relentlessly, and with just 47 seconds remaining, Appiah completed his hat-trick following another combination play with Tom, once again threatening ADC&#x27;s grip on the championship.With only 26 seconds left, ADC goalkeeper Arjun Lasco — the league&#x27;s top keeper after conceding just 12 goals prior to the final — was shown a red card after provoking an altercation with Enderun&#x27;s Jean Marc Sayegh during a loose-ball sequence involving Vendiola.Without a substitute goalkeeper available and Enderun pressing desperately for an equalizer, Vendiola, playing between the sticks for the first time in the season, volunteered to step into goal.The gamble paid off: with Enderun seeking to force extra time, Tom broke free down the left flank and fired a dangerous shot on target. But Vendiola came up with the decisive save, using his body to deny the Enderun captain and completing a remarkable performance that saw him play every role on the futsal court.&quot;Yung sipa ng Enderun, kinakabahan din ako siyempre,&quot; Vendiola admitted after the match, still shaken by the save. &quot;Hindi ako keeper eh. Ayun, buti nga na-save ko at safe na.&quot;Despite the heartbreaking defeat, Enderun captain Dominic Tom remained proud of his squad&#x27;s effort.&quot;We only had one goal: to win the championship. Knowing that this is a new league, a very big league, it really inspired us to do a lot more,&quot; Tom said. &quot;Throughout the season, we prepared really hard and made sure the boys were ready for every game. I&#x27;m really proud of our performance tonight. Congrats to ADC — we&#x27;ll bounce back next season.&quot;Earlier, the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&amp;P) claimed the bronze medal with a resolute 2-0 victory over Philippine Women&#x27;s University. Meanwhile, Tondo FC captured the Plate trophy with an emphatic 11-4 win over the PUP Radicals, as MJ Libre scored five goals to overtake Appiah for the Golden Boot Award.
