Bali: Two first-half strikes from Rufo Sánchez helped Global Cebu beat Bali United 3-1 on Matchday Six action in Group G of the 2018 AFC Cup on Wednesday.
The Spaniard got the away side off to the perfect start after two minutes at the Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium, firing home a header into the bottom right hand corner from close range that gave Bali United goalkeeper Dicky Indrayana no chance.
After 33 minutes, Global doubled their lead through a Paul Mulders wonder strike. The Filipino national intercepted the ball in central midfield and unleashed a stinging strike from well outside the box that landed in the bottom corner of the goal to silence the healthy home crowd.
A first half of Global dominance was capped off through Rufo Sánchez once more, who made it 3-0 in first-half stoppage time, leaving Bali United with it all to do going into the second 45.
