The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) eliminated Pele 1-0 in a tense group ‘B’ fixture when the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) Players Cup continued at the Tucville Community ground on Sunday.
Eusi Phillips found the back of the net in the 90th minute for the army men. Bruising throughout the exchanges, GDF would create the first real chance in the 64th minute through right winger Delwyn Fraser after a disjointed first half by both sides. Picking up the ball in the midfield region, the nippy Fraser evaded multiple markers through his quick foot work before unleashing a powerful right-footed drive that was brilliant saved by Devon Charles at full stretch to his right between the uprights.
Okeene Fraser almost gave Pele the lead two minutes later but his powerful right footed strike from just inside the right side of the 18th yard box was neatly saved by GDF custodian Thyron Warren.
