Despite an abject second half showing, Vreed-en-Hoop Secondary downed L’Aventure Secondary 3-1 on
penalty kicks when the 6th edition of Digicel National U18 Secondary Schools Football Championship started yesterday at the Leonora Sports Facility.
The cagey fixture was thrown into an exciting conclusion as Vreed-en-Hoop surrendered a 2-0 lead in the dying minutes, requiring the dreaded penalty shootout to settle the outcome at 2-2.
Despite having the momentum heading into penalty kicks, the first round started poorly for L’Aventure as they were denied from the spot. Vreed-en-Hoop quickly capitalised, scoring to take a 1-0 lead.
