GFF Elite League Season 4Armed forces arrest opponents in latest action; Ann’s Grove still winless
Amumchi Opara Benjamin – Guyana Defence Force Football Club.
When the latest action in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League Season Four continued on Sunday evening last at the Police Sports Club Ground Eve Leary, the Guyana Police Force FC handed fellow debutants Santos FC their second loss (2-0) whilst securing their second win in the process in the feature match.
Opening play between the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and Ann’s Grove saw the latter putting up a stern display but were not able to keep the Army at bay at the death as they fell to their fifth loss in six outings as the GDF recorded their fourth win (3-1) in six matches to keep their unbeaten record intact.
Police netted either side of play in a solid win over their fellow City side Santos. Damien Thomas in the 9th minute put Police in the lead. Santos stood up to the task but just could not make it count in the attacking third.
Making home advantage count, Police sealed the deal in the 63rd minute thanks to a goal off the boot of Lerone Charles.
In the opening match, Ann’s Grove came very close to sealing an upset draw against the GDF which scored the opening goal of the match in the 16th minute thanks to a Kenneth Opara strike. The score line remained untouched for quite some time as the Army were kept on a tight leash by the East Coast based side still in search of their first win.
They {Ann’s Grove} shocked the GDF in the 69th minute when Steve Francis fired one past the GDF goalkeeper, a goal which changed the momentum of the match. Scoring at that moment of the match surely did bring with it a high level of confidence among the Ann’s Grove lads as they held on to the balance for as long as they could.
Unfortunately for Ann’s Grove, they could not hold off the running GDF side at the death and conceded back to back goals in added on time. First it was Amumchi Opara Benjamin who broke the deadlock in the 90+3rd minute after which his teammate, Olvis Mitchell sealed the deal one minute later when he converted to formalise his side’s, fourth win.
