Den Amstel nursed their wounds following a 2-0 defeat by Uitvlugt Warriors in the GFF Super League two weeks ago and avenged that loss in a penalty shootout when the two teams faced off once again, this time in the finals of the Stag Beer / West Demerara Football Association Senior League at the Den Amstel Community Center Ground, last evening.
The match was fiercely fought from the onset as the two arch-rivals sought to gain supremacy. Both teams enjoyed ample opportunities to surge ahead in the first half but neither took advantage as the session was riddled with misdirected kicks characterized by many blocked chances. This resulted in a 0-0 stalemate at the halfway stage.
The battle for supremacy continued with Den Amstel’s strikers breaching the opposition’s defense cordon on several occasions. Uitvlugt had to contend with the looming, figure of goalkeeper, Oneal Heywood, whose exemplary exploits averted many an opportunity.
Andre Hector, manning the strike force, came closest to breaking the deadlock in the dying stages of regulation time when he evaded the Uitvlugt defenders and delivered a fierce shot only to see his effort sail over the upright.
Shortly afterwards, Jamal Harvey received a second yellow card after an extremely dangerous tackle and was given marching orders, soon after the whistle sounded to end the game.
In the ensuing penalty shoot out, Den Amstel prevailed over Uitvlugt to take the game 3-1 and the $300,000 first place prize that went with it.
Meanwhile, Stewartville and Young Achievers also played to a 1-1 stalemate during regulation time in the fight for the third place spot necessitating another penalty shootout to separate them.
Earlier, Owen McGarrell had scored for Stewartville in the 10th minute and the goal held up until minutes into the second half when Young Achievers benefited from a defense error through Dion Bradford, an own goal being the result.
The game eventually went into penalty shootout and after both teams ended on 4 goals apiece and then into sudden death where Young Achievers prevailed. There were also special prizes for the Most Valuable Player, the most prolific goal scorer and the best goalkeeper which will be revealed in a subsequent report.
