Western Tigers, GDF net 4 to stay perfect in KFC Elite League 2023
A glimpse of the encounter between Western Tigers (yellow) and Den Amstel FC
4-0 was the trending thing on Thursday night when the KFC Elite League continued with another double-header at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) National Training Center (NTC) at Providence, East Bank Demerara.
Western Tigers and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) FC were both victorious by a 4-0 margin when they took on respective opponents Den Amstel and Buxton United FC.
In the first game, between Western Tigers and Den Amstel FC, the latter managed to hold off their opponents for much of the first half, but Malachi Grannum found the back of the net in the 44th to end the half on a high note for Western.
In the second half, Randolph Wagner added to the Tigers’ tally in the 58th, and an own goal off the boots of Den Amstel’s Kobi Alexander accounted for the Tigers’ third goal.

The Tigers embraced a penalty opportunity in the latter minutes of the game, and Wagner (89th) converted to secure his double and his team’s 4-0 victory.
The script was almost identical in the following game, between GDF FC and Buxton United. After several rallies, GDF’s Stephen McDonald was first to find the back of the net, and Kennard Simon netted for GDF to give them a 2-0 score at the half.
A goal drought lasted until the 68th, when Olvis Mitchell found the back of the net, then Chris Macey brought up the Army’s fourth strike in the 71st. Buxton were able to patch the leak thereafter, but were unable to find any goals of their own.
The KFC Elite League continues this evening with a clash between Ann’s Grove United and Milerock FC at 18:00hrs. That game will be followed by a clash between Victoria Kings and Den Amstel FC at 20:00hrs.
