Kaieteur Sports – Round Two of the KFC Elite League Season Six got off to a sensational start with impressive victories from the Guyana Police Force FC and Santos FC on Saturday night at the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) National Training Centre in Providence, East Bank Demerara.
The March 25 opener saw a goalless first half between Santos FC, currently fifth in the standings, and Fruta Conquerors FC, who sit in seventh place.
However, after the interval, a transformed Santos took the pitch, with Stephon Reynolds breaking the deadlock in the 52nd minute and Andrew Simmons sealing the victory with a goal in the 85th minute.
In the second match, Guyana Police Force FC overcame Western Tigers FC with a 4-2 final score. Fans were eagerly anticipating this matchup between the Georgetown sides, who occupy third and fourth places on the points table.
Guyana Police Force’s Jemar Harrigan opened the scoring in the 19th minute, but Randolph Wagner equalised for Western Tigers just three minutes later. Andrew Murray then added another for Western Tigers in stoppage time, giving them a 2-1 lead at halftime.
Police fought tenaciously to hold off Western Tigers 4-2.
But the second half belonged to Guyana Police Force with Neron Barrow netting twice in the 65th and 76th minutes. Nicholas McArthur sealed the victory with a stunning goal in the 90+2 minute, securing a comeback for his team.
The final round continues on May 30 with Buxton United FC facing Monedderlust FC at 6:30pm, followed by Dem Amstel taking on Ann’s Grove at 9 pm. Both matches will be held at the NTC.
Monedderlust, currently ninth in the standings, aims to improve their performance. Leading the table is Guyana Defence Force FC, closely followed by Slingerz FC, with only a slight goal difference separating the two teams.
The ten Elite League teams will compete over the next three months for prize rewards of $2,000,000, $1,200,000, $800,000, and $500,000, respectively.
