New Amsterdam (NA) United edged the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) 5-4 on penalty kicks after normal time ended 0-0 when the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Premier League continued on Sunday at the Georgetown Football Club ground, Bourda.

Kennard Simon almost opened the scoring for the Georgetown side in the ninth minute, with a powerfully struck effort from the left side of the field that fizzed just wide of the bottom right hand corner.

A great chance to open the scoring would fall to NA United’s Kelvin Joseph in the 17th minute.
