In the 2016 UFL Season and the 2016 UFL Cup , Global would finally have its redemption against bitter rival Ceres . The club would go on to achieved a league double , by winning the annual UFL league and cup tournaments . Only three clubs in the Philippines have achieved a league double , and the members of that exclusive group were – Philippine Air Force F.C. in 2009 – 10 , Stallion Laguna F.C. in 2012 – 13 and Global Makati F.C. in 2016 . Ceres would be runners-up to Global in both league and cup tournaments . During the UFL Cup finals , Global was coming off a ban from the previous editon of the UFL Cup . Global came back to reclaim their place as one of the country ’s top clubs with the help of the brace of Azkals standout and tournament Golden Ball Misagh Bahadoran . Global quickly capitalized on a distraught defense of Ceres in the consequent minutes of the affair with Bahadoran left unmarked inside the box to strike the rebound in the 21st minute and open the scoring . Not long after , the defense of the Bacolod-based club was left to pay with another goal as Bahadoran found Matthew Hartman on the edge of the box to elevate their squad ’s lead to 2-0 going into the break . After the restart Bahadoran doubled his output in the night with an impressive effort inside the area to shake away defender Jason Sabio and put the ball to the back of the net in the 56th minute . Tension flared in the match when Ceres head coach Ali Go was thrown off the playing area following an altercation on the pitch after the side ’s protest of a non-call of a hand ball in the penalty box . The Busmen finally scratched a mark in their scorecard in the 61st minute with a shot courtesy of substitute Nate Burkey to cut the deficit down to just two goals . Ceres scrambled their jets in the remaining minutes of affair to ignite their offense , sending in Stephan Schröck to augment their attacks , but they were unable to turn the game around until the end of regulation . Global captured the 2016 UFL Cup title , on a 3-1 finals victory . Misagh Bahadoran would later be awarded with the PSA ‘ Mr. Philippine football ’ award for his heroics in the last UFL Cup tournament . In the seventh and last season of the UFL League since its establishment as a semi-professional league in 2009 , Global lead by UFL Golden Ball awardee Hikaru Minegishi , won the league title with one game to spare , Global was six points ahead of runners-up Ceres .
