It needed 30 more minutes of action but the Azkals Development Team (ADT) got the job done and booked a slot in the 2021 Copa Paulino Alcantara (CPA) Finals.

The ADT won in extra time against Stallion Laguna FC, 2-1, in the semifinals held on Tuesday in the Philippine Football Federation's training center in Carmona, Cavite.

After a goalless first half, Stallion Laguna FC's Abraham Placito scored the first goal of the match at the 53' mark.

ADT captain Jarvey Gayoso made the equalizer at the 66' mark. However, he was stretchered out before the end of regulation due to injury.
