With each team having a point to prove in terms of futsal dominance, North East La Penitence and Gold Is Money have found themselves contesting the finals of the first Chung’s Global Champion of Champions Tournament, the semifinals of which was a hotbed of upsets when it was played out on Wednesday at the National Gymnasium.
Known for their class, Gold is Money, led by Shamar Koulen, secured a 4-nil victory over Stabroek Ballers. Koulen’s accuracy allowed him to score the first goal of the evening in the 8th minute, and complete his brace in the 21st. A short while later, Andrew Murray joined the action by adding his goal in the 26th, while his teammate followed with a banger of a goal to seal the victory in the 30th.
With an all-round performance, North East La Penitence managed to again pull off the upset of the night, when they defeated North Ruimveldt, with one goal being the decider. With the help of their keeper in the early minutes of the first half, Antonio Allen gave his team an advantage in the 15th minute, and that saw North Ruimveldt, with their flair, attempting to score; but the North East keeper held them off as his team members packed their bags, heading into the finals.
