dearly missed the presence of Bienve Mara\u00f1on as the club was held to a 1-1 draw by Singapore’s Home United at the start of the two-leg AFC Cup ASEAN Zone Finals at the Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Isaka Cernak stunned the full-house Panaad crowd as he did not just eventually force a deadlock, but also gave Home a vital away goal that puts the club at a slight edge – entering the rematch back in Singapore next week.<\/p>\n

Blake Powell introduced himself to the AFC Cup community as he tapped in an eighth minute penalty that put the recently-crowned back-to-back PFL champ up to the delight of the fans.<\/p>\n

However, Cernak followed up on a Shahril Ishak’s header that could only touch the goal line after bouncing off the post to put Home on the board in the 23rd minute.<\/p>\n

Ishak even had a chance to give Home the lead midway in the second half after finding some space against Negros’ backline, but Toni Doblas was there for the stop.<\/p>\n

Hafiz Nor and Stephan Schrock’s last gasps to give their respective teams the Leg 1 win went for naught as referee Kim Soo-Wung officially called it a night.\u00a0(PNA)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
