The Tamaraws last won the men's football crown back in UAAP Season 77 (2014-15).

"It feels great, especially since we've missed football for the last few years," said Vince Santos, who celebrated his first title as head coach of the Morayta school. "It's such a rewarding feeling to rebuild the program almost from scratch and achieve victories this year for both the juniors and the men's team."

Karl Absalon opened the scoring with a fine finish 12 minutes into the match, giving FEU an early lead. Gerald Estores doubled their advantage in the 30th minute with a goal from close range.

In the 86th minute, Gio Pabualan extended FEU's lead, and Geri Martini Rey sealed the victory with a goal in the 90+4th minute, ending the Tamaraws' eight-year title drought.
