This evening’s double-header in the penultimate night of the Guyana Football Federation’s KFC Elite League Season Six will be one to watch, as the top two teams in the League hope to keep their points up in anticipation of their final clash.
Making the action even more enthralling are the results of Wednesday’s games, where defending Champions Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Football Club sneaked past Fruta Conquerors to keep their title defence hopes alive.
Surprisingly, the number 7 ranked Fruta Conquerors took the lead with back-to-back goals off the boots of Dwayne Jones and Shemar Koulen in the 24th and 25th minutes respectively. However, the defending champs equalized in the respective 39th and 41st minutes with goals from Chris Macey and Stephen McDonald respectively.
Fruta Conquerors managed to keep the star-studded GDF at bay for much of the second half, and looked well on their way to forcing a draw with the League leaders.
However, in 83rd minute, heartbreak struck for Fruta, who conceded an own goal that handed GDF the needed win.
Earlier in the evening, Western Tigers thumped a hapless Buxton United FC 8-1, to reassume the fourth-place position on the League’s points table.
Randolph Wagner opened the scoring for Western Tigers in the 15th minute, and, two minutes later, Michael Oie made it a 2-0 affair. Buxton managed to pull one back in the 19th minute through Lennox Odean for a 2-1 score at the half.
