Two-time defending champion Sparta Boss and former titlist Back Circle were put on the brink of elimination in the Guinness СGreatest of the Streets Georgetown zone, losing to Gaza Squad and Rising Stars respectively Tuesday at the National Cultural Centre tarmac.

In front of a another large gathering, Gaza Squad overcame Sparta Boss 4-3 on sudden death penalty kicks after regulation time ended with the teams scoreless.

It was a dogged defensive performance from the Sophia-based unit who nullified the attacking threat of Sparta Boss.

Gaza Squad then responded with aplomb in the penalty shoot-out as they converted each attempt to seal the win.
