Ernest Nierras’ Herd showed no mercy in bringing the painful heat to the league newcomers, as leading forward Griffin McDaniel scored a flawless five-star performance.
The former U23 Azkal landed a five-minute brace in the 9th and 14th minutes after Jose Bezerra opened the scoring just four minutes into the contest, practically sealing all three points for the former league champions.
Gabe Silva then put them 4-0 up in the 26th minute before Bezerra bagged his brace 10 minutes later, with McDaniel hitting a hat-trick in a space of nine minutes to complete his glut, as Stallion were already home and hosed, leading by eight without reply at the break.
Juan Galeana Trujillo joined the party five minutes into the restart, with Bezerra completing his treble at the hour mark.
Substitute Jo Warren Bedia went onto the scoresheet in the 66th minute before fellow sub Junior Sam hit his second straight brace deep into stoppage time.
The rout not only eclipsed Kaya’s 12-0 beating of Don Bosco Garelli on the second Sunday of the season but also zoomed past One Taguig to the top of the PFL pile.
Not only that, it also equalled the all-time PFL record for the biggest win, which was set by Ceres Negros on August 28, 2019, against a Global side on life support.
