Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Football Federation/KFC 2023 Elite Football League continued on Tuesday at the National Training Centre, Providence. Tuesday night witnessed an exciting double header between Victoria Kings and Fruta Conquerors FC, and Police FC and Santos FC.

The clash between Victoria Kings and the defending champions, Fruta Conquerors FC ended 2-1, while Police FC defeated Santos FC 1-0 compliments of an unfortunate own-goal decision.

In the first match of the night, the Victoria Kings took an early lead with Captain Inceford Charles scoring in the 20th minute.

Despite having several opportunities, the Tucville based team failed to capitalize on them, and the match ended with Victoria Kings winning 2-1. This victory marked the first win for the Victorians in the GFF/KFC-sponsored Elite League 2023, after being winless for five consecutive matches.

Meanwhile, in the second match between Guyana Police Force (GPF) FC and Santos FC; both teams struggled to find the net despite their valiant efforts.
