Linden Technical Institute (LTI) secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE) in the fifth game of the Modec Tertiary Football Tournament at the Bayroc National Stadium on Wednesday.
The action-packed encounter saw LTI take an early lead in the ninth minute when Darnell Profit found the back of the net, setting the tone for a competitive first half. Despite pressure from CPCE, the hosts maintained their advantage until the second half.
The decisive goal came in the 56th minute, with Krishtian Louis doubling Linden Technical’s lead, giving them a crucial cushion. CPCE fought valiantly to stay in contention, and Trevon George pulled one back in the 70th minute, but it was not enough to salvage a point.
The match was not without disciplinary action, as CPCE’s Snerrai Daniels received a yellow card in the 66th minute.
With this victory, Linden Technical continues to build momentum in the tournament, while CPCE will look to bounce back in their next fixtures.
