Street Vybz Entertainment Futsal Competition… African Connection beat Ol Skool Ballers to advance
Guinness Cage champions Ol Skool Ballers became the big casualty after 
suffering a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the African Connection (a team made up of players from Nigeria) when play in the inaugural Street Vybz Entertainment Futsal Competition opened Thursday night, at the National Gymnasium.
Siblings Benjamin and Kenneth Opara were the chief architects in the victory, lashing in all four goals with the former netting a treble in the 5th, 15th and 19th minutes, while the latter added the other in the 14th.
Former kings of the format, Sparta Boss, also showed scintillating form as they easily dispatched Channel 9 Warriors 4-0 in the final game of the evening to send an ominous warning to the other teams that they are back to their best.
Courtney Britton in the 5th and 7th, Gregory Richardson- 2nd and Eusi Phillips-14th were the players on target.
However, the most enthralling game of the night was the one between Broad Street and Mocha which came right down to the wire, before the former prevailed 4-3.
Daniel Favourite fired in a hat-trick in the 2nd, 5th and 16th minutes, while Jimmy Gravesande completed their tally with a strike in the 11th.
Leopold Street and MBK All Stars both benefitted from walkovers, while Hustlers, West Front Road ‘Gold is Money’ and New Market Street, all won their respective encounters.
Meanwhile, the competition resumes this evening with eight more matches in the knockout phase starting at 19:30 hrs.
Among the teams slated to play is a team from Brazil that will take on North Ruimveldt and this clash is already being touted as one of the big matchups of the night.
