Den Amstel’s Jeffrey Pereira was ‘on song’ as he banged five goals past De Kinderen’s goalkeeper Albert Hodge in guiding his team to a compact 6-1 win when the Stag Beer sponsored West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) Senior League continued at the Den Amstel Community Centre Ground yesterday afternoon.
Despite heavy rainfall in the city and on the West Demerara, the Den Amstel Ground saw two entertaining matches that were witnessed by a fair sized and vociferous crowd.
It was the perfect setting for home boy Pereira who teamed up with Delon Lanferman formerly of Uitvlugt FC to guide their team to victory.
Working in tandem in the attacking third, the De Kinderen defence had no answer for the duo. Pereira set the goal scoring train in motion seven minutes into the game. Both sides featured a number of young players but it was Den Amstel which took the fight to their opponents.
There was a period of solid resistance by the visitors after the opening goal but it was always going to be a matter of time as the host side dominated possession for the most part. Pereira was again on target in the 35th minute to double the advantage.
Against all odds, with five (5) minutes to the break, De Kinderen were able to reduce the lead when they were gifted a goal by Den Amstel defender Dwayne Charles who in trying to clear the ball sliced it past his goalkeeper, Ryan Hunte.
The goal brought loud cheers from the De Kinderen supporters and as it turned out, that was the first and last goal that came their way. The two goal advantage was restored when Lanferman got his name on the score sheet in the 42nd minute.
The final half was again a fruitful one for the home team and in particular, Pereira as he blasted the nets on three more occasions. De Kinderen had some flashes of brilliance during the half but just was not able to penetrate the Den Amstel defence. Pereira netted in the 50th, 70th and 88th minute to seal De Kinderen’s fate.
Yesterday’s opening game produced a fierce battle between Bagotsville/Nismes and Jetty Gunners with the former prevailing by the lone goal of the game converted by Glenvin Herzen in the 57th minute.
Jetty Gunners were just not able to fire on the day and perhaps might be blaming the rain which fell consistently during the second half.
Matches are slated to continue this weekend.
