Former Columbia International University Ram Paul Grandacarpio is a hero. He scored the winning goal in the first home match of a new Columbia semi-pro soccer team.

Grandacarpio plays for Soda City FC of the United Premier Soccer League. He bent a free kick around a wall of the opposition for the win.

Grandacarpio, a native of Equator, played for the CIU Rams from 2013-2017. Get the details on his winning goal in the article, “Soda City FC soccer debuts” published by the online newspaper Cola Daily.
