The Philippine Azkals striker struck in the 48th, 49th, 59th, 67th, 72nd and 76th minutes to propel the Sparks to their second win in as many matches and tie idle Green Archers United for the lead in Group E with six points apiece.
Younghusband’s exploits came in his first match since announcing his breakup with actress Angel Locsin.
His six-goal performance was Younghusband’s best since scoring seven against Team Soccerroo in the 2011 UFL Cup.
Meanwhile, defending champion Stallion FC and newly relegated second division side Air Force beat separate rivals to join Loyola in the knockout stage.
Stallion drew goals from Reuben Doctora, Bo Bae Park and Jeremy Taylor John to defeat Bright Star FC, 3-1, while Ian Araneta, Neckson Leonora and Randy Bela-Ong scored in Air Force’s 3-0 beating of Agila FC.
Both clubs are tied for second place in Group C with six points apiece, trailing surprise leader Cebu Queen City United by one point.
The once mighty Air Force booters, who won the UFL Cup in 2009 and 2011, earned a return trip to the knockout stage after being eliminated in the group stage last year.
In the other match, Abdou Moussa Obono scored a hat trick as Dolphins United thrashed Blue Guards FC, 11-1, to revive its flickering hopes of making the knockout stage. It was the club’s first win in three matches.
