Hubert Pedro’s hat-trick performance for Western Tigers led them to a comfortable three points over Cougars United when action in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League III continued on Friday at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground.
Pedro drew first blood for the Tigers 13 minutes into the showdown then doubled in the 19th minute. His teammate Colin Nelson supported with a 39th minute goal as the eventual victor developed an unassailable lead at the half.
The high paced encounter saw both coaches using five substitutions each. Cougars managed to pull one back in the 83rd when Mark Wronge scored then made it a one-possession game when Erwin Johnson slotted in the 87th minute.
However, Pedro was having none of that as he scored in the second minute of injuries and stoppages time to complete his hat-trick.
Prior to that showdown, Fruta Conquerors needled Den Amstel (1-0) as the game saw the winning coach, Sampson Gilbert, use four subs while O’Neal Heywood, used a handful of substitutions.
Today at GFC, we will see Milerock FC go head to head with New Amsterdam (NA) United FC in the first game at 17:30 hours and then the double header wraps up with Victoria Kings taking on the defending champions Guyana Defence Force (GDF) at 19:30hrs.
