Den Amstel won a close battle against Buxton United and was the only team to collect full points in three matches that were played on the weekend when the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League Season Four continued.
In the feature match on Sunday afternoon at their home ground, Den Amstel were held to a goalless first half by the visiting Buxtonians. The home team however would rally to break the deadlock in the 73rd minute when the experienced Kester Jacobs breached Buxton United’s backline as well as goalkeeper Darren Harris to score.
It turned out to be the winning strike as the home team collected a hard earned three points, points which were not easy to come by in the other matches. In Sunday afternoon’s earlier match at the same venue, Western Tigers and Victoria Kings battled to an exciting 2-2 draw.
Randolph Wagner had given Western Tigers the lead in the 17th minute to which Victoria Kings responded through a Randy Stoby goal in the 24th minute to even things up. Four minutes after equalising, the Kings would take the lead when Trevor Fraser’s shot found the back of the nets, relegating Omar Jones in goal to a spectator.
But the Tigers would find the neutralizing goal compliments of Colin Nelson in the 52nd minute to ensure that they were able to share the spoils, equally.
Saturday’s lone match-up at the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground in Linden produced a goalless stalemate between home team Milerock FC and the Guyana Defence Force which was reduced to 10-men on the stroke of full time when Jerome Richardson was booked for the second time having drawn his first in the 60th minute.
The GDF ground, Camp Ayangana will host a double header on Friday evening from 17:00hrs when Den Amstel throws down the gauntlet to Western Tigers which will be followed by a clash between home team GDF and Victoria Kings.
On Sunday, Police Sports Club Ground, Eve Leary will entertain two more matches, Santos will open against Buxton United from 18:30 hrs with Police welcoming Milerock in the main attraction.
