Western Tigers’ Super Eight…Pele and Tigers battle in feature showdown tonight

Semi-final action will unravel tonight at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground as the BK International Western Tigers Super Eight Knockout Tournament continues with what is expected to be a thrilling double header.

The action kicks off at 6pm with the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) going head-to-head with Fruta Conquerors while Pele Football Club will collide with hosts Western Tigers in the feature showdown at 8pm.

Stabroek News photographer Orlando Charles caught some of the action in the Pele/Santos quarterfinal match up at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground on Friday night.

The teams will be battling for a spot in the final which takes place on January 30 at the same venue with the winning team receiving the top prize of $500,000.

Tigers and Pele secured the last two semi-final spots Friday night when they humbled GFC and Santos respectively.
In the opening match Nedd Fraser produced a double while Lorenzo Duesbury scored once to give the host team a comfortable three goal victory over the GFC team.

The feature match saw Pele and Santos battling to a goalless first half. However they each scored a goal in the second half and with the score still being level at the end of full time, the teams proceeded to a penalty shoot out. Pele eventually ended up the winner by being the team to hold their composure.
