Match report
Quezon City claimed a 76-71 victory over Valenzuela City Darkhorses in the MPBL on Thursday, September 25th. The away side held firm in the closing stages to secure a narrow win on the road. By then, the result was already shaping up to be a tight affair.
The final margin of five points reflected a match where momentum shifted several times. Valenzuela had shown resilience in their recent outings, including a 76-73 win over Zamboanga Sikat back in August. But Quezon City's defence tightened when it mattered most.
The result leaves both sides in the middle of the MPBL standings. Valenzuela sit ninth after 19 games with nine wins and ten losses. Quezon City occupy eighth place following eighteen matches, their record reading nine wins and nine defeats.
Quezon City's form has been inconsistent. They lost 70-54 to Batangas City on September 11th before bouncing back with a 65-61 win over Mindoro Tamaraus two days later. Valenzuela's last outing saw them beat Ilagan Isaabela Cowboys 98-90 on September 7th, but they had also suffered a heavy 106-70 defeat to Araw Weaver earlier in August.
The victory extends Quezon City's unbeaten run to three games across all competitions. Valenzuela's run of five matches without a loss came to an end here. The gap between eighth and ninth remains just one place in the table.
