Dynasty! The victorious GDF outfit in full celebratory mode following their tense penalty shootout win over Western Tigers in the final of the GFF/Kashif and Shanghai Super-16 Championship.

A dynasty was created on Saturday evening, as defending champion, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), successfully retained their title, defeating Western Tigers 5-4 on penalty kicks, after regulation and extra ended 1-1 in the finale of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF)/Kashif and Shanghai Super-16 Championship.

Winner of the previous tournament which was staged in 2019, the army unit was clinical from the distance to prevail in front of a large gathering at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.

Western Tigers commenced the penalty shoot-out in the form of Curtez Kellman, who converted in the lower left corner. GDF responded in equal measure as Sherwyn Caesar placed his effort into the right corner.
