Fraser’s hat-trick pilots Guyana to IGG Futsal title
Kaieteur Sports – A brilliant hat-trick from Guyana’s standout player, Quaency Fraser, propelled the home side to a 6–4 victory over Suriname, capturing the Inter Guiana Games (IGG) Futsal championship yesterday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
Both teams entered the match needing a win, but Guyana, after their 6–6 draw with French Guiana, required a two-goal margin to clinch the title, setting the stage for an intense showdown.
The Guyana lads showed their prowess to get past Suriname and claim the IGG Futsal title yesterday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
French Guiana had defeated Suriname 3–2 on the opening day of the Futsal competition, which meant Suriname approached the clash with Guyana full of urgency and aggression.
Guyana struck first through Isiah Ifill just five minutes into the match, but Suriname equalized three minutes later. Fraser then pushed Guyana ahead again, only for Suriname to level the score in the 16th minute.
Ifill, who ended the game with a brace, made it 3–2, but Suriname again responded immediately to tie things up. From there, however, Guyana, powered by Fraser’s decisive attacking display, took control.
Fraser found the net again in the 37th and 40th minutes to complete his hat-trick, while Seon Grant also added to Guyana’s tally in the 28th minute.
Fraser would end the tournament as the team’s highest scorer, with seven goals, following his four goals scored for Guyana in their draw with French Guiana.
The victory marked a satisfying redemption for Guyana, who had finished second last year after losing to Suriname when the Games were held in French Guiana.
Guyana’s futsal team had former National forward, Gregory ‘Jackie Chan’ Richardson as their head coach, with Jermaine Junor as his assistant.
