A new champion will be crowned the Upper Demerara Football Association [UDFA] GT-Beer Championship after Eagles defeated defending champs Botofago on 6-5 sudden death penalty kicks in the semi-final round on Friday.
Locked 2-2 at the end of regulation and extra time at the Mackenzie Sports Club [MSC] ground, Linden, the game entered the sudden death penalty realm, after both teams scored their allotted kicks to end 5-5. However, Eagles scored their sixth attempt to take the lead, only for Botofago to miss from the distance and seal their exit from the tournament.
Prior to the dramatic conclusion, Omar Brewley handed Eagles the lead in the 18thminute via a penalty conversion.
