Defending champs Grove Hi-Tech and West Demerara giants Pouderoyen secured penalty shoot-out wins to clinch their respective quarterfinal berths when the 2nd Annual Stag Beer Super XVI Knockout Football Championships continued Tuesday at the Golden Grove ground.
With the fixtures rescheduled from Sunday due to poor lighting and an incident of petty larceny, the holders defeated the home side 4-2 on penalty kicks after normal and extra time finished 2-2 in front of a sizeable crowd.
Asked to take first strike from the penalty spot, Golden Grove made no mistake as they converted. The visitors replied instantly, finding the back of the net at their first attempt.
The momentum of the fixture changed in the second round as Golden Grove failed to score from the mark.
