Road Warriors displayed ripping form once again.

Kaieteur Sports – Whilst Road Warriors, as expected, breezed past Spaniards in the main supporting clash of the night when the round-of 16 in the inaugural June Madness Futsal championship got underway, it was Bomb Squad and Bent Street ‘B’ who stole the spotlight with resounding wins.

In the main shindig, futsal fans would have easily given the experienced Bent Street ‘A’ the nod to get past Bomb Squad but the underdogs rose to the occasion to knockout their opponents. Bent Street drew first blood when Pernel Schultz sent them into the lead with just 32 seconds on the clock.

The energetic Bomb Squad, despite trailing, matched their opponents play for play but were not able to break down their rock solid defence. Bent Street were able to double the lead in the 17^th minute through a Solomon Austin goal.
Things got even more bleak for Bomb Squad when they found themselves 3-0 down, this time, Schultz doubled his tally with a 19^th minute goal. It seemed a done deal for Bent Street ‘A’ but the boys from Bomb Squad’s never-say-die attitude would spell trouble for their opponents.

Raushan Ritch reduced the deficit in the 21^st minute when they found the back of the nets and then a bold and strategic move was made by the Bomb Squad Coach to request the yellow ball. It was a move that would stun Bent Street when Kayo Fernando’s shot nestled in the back of the nets in the 23^rd minute to draw his team level to the ruckus cheers of the fans, it was game on.

Gold Is Money (red) edged Spaniards in a close tussle.

Two minutes later it was all over for Bent Street when Kemar Beckford nailed the winner for Bomb Squad in what can be considered one of the greatest comebacks in futsal history.

Bent Street ‘B’ started off proceedings in this round when they downed Stabroek Ballers ‘A’ 4-2. Bent Street ‘B’ drew first blood in the opening minute through Randy Roberts, but that advantage was soon cancelled out when Deon Alfred netted the first of his brace in the 3^rd minute for Stabroek Ballers.

Lennox Young scored the first of his hat-trick for Bent Street ‘B’ in the 16^th minute to restore their slim advantage but this was again cancelled out in the 26^th when Alfred scored his second. Unanswered goals form Young in the 29^th and 30^th minute sealed a quarter final place for Bent Street ‘B’.

Road Warriors easily took care of business against Corinthians via a 7-1 scoreline, they were led by the competition’s leading goal scorer, Luis DaSilva with three goals, 15 seconds into the game, 2nd, 22nd, minute to take his overall tally to seven (7). Arckson Andreazza added a 6th minute Yellow Ball goal (counted as two) while there was one each for Matheus DeSilva in the 6^th and Ricardo Silva in the 29^thminute. William Dos Santos’ 11^th goal was the lone response for Corinthians.

Gold Is Money edged Spaniards in the other match, 2-1 to also book their place in the final eight.
