Of two matches that marked the second night’s action in Region 4, the opening game saw Mahaica/Mahaicony whipping the combined side of Mocha/Agricola/Herstelling 5-0.
Watched by an enthused crowd, Glasgow was the centre of attention in the match involving BV/Buxton. Many had long wanted to see the country’s hottest young talent in action, and this was his first game in Guyana since returning from his first season with Major League Soccer (MLS) side Chicago Fire in the MLS NextPro League. Glasgow did not disappoint; he played a pivotal role in each of his side’s goal on the night.
Nakhalya Jervis broke the deadlock in the first half by hitting home his effort in the 41st minute to give BV/Buxton a 1–0 cushion heading into the second stanza. Glasgow made it 2–0 in the 50th minute, and Jamar Horrigan connected in the 60th minute.
With the game already out of reach, Dwayne Kellman (70’) scored East Ruimveldt’s lone goal in the encounter.
Meanwhile, Julius Hamilton (42’, 52’, 65’) produced a hat-trick for Mahaica/ Mahaicony in the one-sided opening game.
Ron Abel (22’) and Trevon Adams (26’) were the other scorers in the match in their side’s 5-0 victory over Mocha/Agricola/Herstelling.
The win for Mahaica/Mahaicony and BV/Buxton will see them facing each other in the second match of the quarter-finals on Thursday, November 24, at the Georgetown Football Club Ground. The opening game will bring together Grove/Diamond/ Samatta Point and West Ruimveldt-Albouystown.
