Match winner Stephan Schrock praised the resolve showed by Ceres-Negros in claiming a spot in the playoff round of the AFC Champions League via Tuesday night’s 1-0 upset of Thai club Port FC.

Schrock came through with the only goal of the match in the 51st minute, giving the Busmen the victory over Port before stunned fans at the PAT Stadium in Bangkok.
