Scramble ensues as Ateneo tried to clear the ball, however UST's Conrado Dimacali stood tall as the substitute headed the ball into the Ateneo net.

Match

The two teams last met in the Finals on UAAP Season 74 and UAAP Season 73 both going on the side of the Maroons. UST led by OJ Clarino, UP's Ian Clarino's older brother, suffered consecutive defeats in the finals against a stacked UP lineup then led by Jinggoy Valmayor, Ayii Nii, and Nathan Octavio.

With a cruel twist of fate, it was Ian Clarino who kept UST from tasting their first championship since Season 69. Coming from a set piece delivered by JB Borlongan a few yards from the penalty area, Ian Clarino was kept onside by a UST defender and left alone against this season's UAAP Best Keeper Zaldy Abraham. Clarino, who was named UAAP's Most Valuable Player, easily volleyed the ball straight to the net on the 21st minute. This proves to be the difference as the championship goes to the other side of Katipunan for the 2nd time in 3 years, giving UP its 18th UAAP Football Crown.
