The Guyana Police Force (GPF) maintained their perfect record whilst Victoria Kings upset Fruta Conquerors when the KFC Elite League continued on Tuesday evening at the National Training Centre, Providence, East Bank Demerara.
The lawmen defeated Santos by a 1-0 score-line. Following a scoreless first half, the lawmen recorded a conversion under fortuitous circumstances in the 60th minute.
Defender Akil Plass was the unfortunate villain for Santos, as he inadvertently directed the ball into his own net after attempting to thwart the danger of an intended Nicholas MacArthur strike following a through pass.
Meanwhile, Victoria Kings squeaked past Fruta Conquerors 2-1. The East Coast Demerara unit entered the halftime interval firmly in control at 2-0, following conversions from Inceford Charles and Kevin Williams.
Charles opened the scoring in the 20th minute in a fortuitous manner after his free-kick attempt from outside the box went through the grasp of the goalkeeper and settled into the back of the net.
Another goal-keeping error led to Williams etching his name on the scorer’s sheet as the Fruta Conquerors custodian spilled the ball following a cross into the area, allowing the forward to slam home his effort into the back of the net.
Conquerors would eventually pull one back in the 53rd minute when Dennis Edwards slotted his first-time effort into the roof of the right corner from the top of the box, after racing onto a left-side pass.
The event continues at the same venue today with another doubleheader. Den Amstel will oppose Western Tigers from 19:00hrs, while the Guyana Defence Force will take aim at Buxton United from 21:00hrs.
