Flamingo, managed to pull one back in the 52nd minute through striker Julian Bowen, who scored with a powerful left-footed shot. Amelia’s Ward, however, responded in the 73rd minute through Monty Simon.
Flamingo seemed to catch a second wind in the dying stages of the game and began to launch countless attacks on their opponents.
During one of those raids a free kick was won from some 45 years out. Winger Morty Ramdehol saw the Amelia’s Ward keeper Odel Allicock off his line and went for goal.
The ball dipped just under the cross bar for a second Flamingo goal 8 minutes to full time.
Amelia’s Ward United had the final say as Kishawn Warner scored for them in the 85th minute for a 6-2 victory.
