The Guyana Defence Force needled Pele FC to jump ahead of them on the points table when round four of the STAG Elite League FINALE commenced on Sunday evening last at the Guyana Defence Force ground, Camp Ayangana.
A late first half strike from Alden Lawrence (42nd minute) was all that was needed for GDF to down Pele which played without the services of their main pillar, Gregory ‘Jackie Chan’ Richardson as a result of a red card in their previous encounter.
The Pele side were further set back when another player, Kennard Simon drew a red card, effectively reducing the side by one and they were not able to neutralize the GDF advantage as they moved ahead of Pele by two clear points to six.
The opening match saw Buxton recording their first win of the season, an exciting 3-2 triumph over the Georgetown Football Club (GFC). Buxton took the lead in the 19th minute through Dillon Wright.
Three minutes later, GFC equalized compliments of a Peter Parks strike as the first half ended with the score locked. Seven minutes into the second half, GFC went ahead when Linden Pickett found the back of the nets.
The see-saw scoring continued ten minutes later when Buxton were able to sneak in the equalizer through a Tyrone Harper effort. Wright put his cap on the game with his second goal of the match in the 79th minute.
The win for the East Coast based side saw them moving into sixth place behind Pele, same amount of points and matches, four. GFC remain winless also after four matches.
Round four play will conclude tomorrow evening at the Tucville ground when Alpha and Bakewell Slingerz collide in the opening match at 18:30hrs with the main match between Fruta Conquerors and Monedderlust.
