Following Wednesday night’s final round-robin group games, the round-of-16 knockout phase of the East Bank/West Demerara Zone of the Guinness “Greatest of the Street” Futsal competition begins tonight at West Demerara’s Pouderoyen Tarmac.
Played at the same venue on Wednesday, Showstoppers and ESPN recorded the biggest victories out of the 12 encounters that were contested on the night. Defending Zone champions, Showstoppers, slotted in five unanswered goals to enjoy an easy victory over Zeelugt Warriors. National winger, Trayon Bobb was in fine form following up his good showing in the Legacy Futsal competition the previous night to lead his team with another brace in the 7^th and 9^th minute. Bobb was assisted with goals from Marvin Josiah, Dexroy Adams and Marvin Frank.
ESPN bettered Dream team 3-0 compliments of a “Guinness goal” (any goal scored in the last three minutes of the match is counted as two) off the heels of national forward Pernell Schultz in the 20^th minute, after fellow national player Trevon Lythcott had given the team the lead.
Meanwhile, Hustlers downed Mocha-B 1-0 on penalty kicks, after normal time concluded 0-0 and Rising Stars squeaked past Admiral United 2-1. Daniel Abrams notched a “Guinness goal” in the 20th minute for the win after his side had trailed 1-0 throughout when Lexroy Manfield scored in the fourth minute.
Up-Like-7 benefitted from a Guinness goal when Anthony Darlington slotted home in 20^th minute as his side beat Bagotville All-stars 2-0. Patentia Money Team edged Nismes Ballers 1-0 on penalty kicks, after normal time ended in a goalless draw.
Facebook needled Veterans 1-0 through penalties, following a 1-1 score at the end of normal time. Kacey John scored for Veterans in the 13th minute, while Jalen Williams equalised one minute later.
In other results Zeelugt defeated Harmony Ballers 1-0 while Gas Team dismissed Brother’s United 2-1 and Harmony Warriors defeated Goal-Getters 2-0 on penalty kicks, following another goalless draw after the allotted match time of 20 minutes. (Calvin Chapman)
