Kaya went into overdrive right from the start as they pinned Ilbirs in their own half with custodian Sezimbubu Midinova palming away Dionese Tolentin’s ferocious strike in the 17th minute before Alessandrea Carpio smacked a header against the post a minute later.

Carpio’s strength in the air came to the fore again in the 25th minute, running in unchallenged to nod home Rocelle Mendano inswinging corner delivery.

Ilbirs were unable to cope with Kaya’s set-piece prowess as they conceded another in similar fashion in the 38th minute.

From the other side, Tolention was tasked with the delivery and centre-back Saki Yoshida rose highest to thump the ball home past Midinova.
Kaya picked up from where they left off in the second half, a piledriver of a strike from Carpio from distance had Midinova sprawling to her left to push out.

Ilbirs, however, conceded for the third time from a corner set-piece, this time Mendano’s inswinger was misjudged by Midinova as the ball sailed into the net in the 57th minute.

Tolentin made it 4-0 in the 72nd minute, taking a step into the box before unleashing an unstoppable shot into the top corner.

Kaya’s dominant performance was capped with two more goals as Carpio nodded into an unguarded goalmouth in the 80th minute, followed by Marissa Vasquez’s solo effort in the first minute of added time.
