The undefeated Guyana Defence Force (GDF) was crowned the KFC Elite League Football Champion, defeating fierce rival the Guyana Police Force (GPF) 4-1 on Saturday evening at the National Training Centre, Providence.
Stephen McDonald gave the army unit the perfect start, as he headed the ball into the back of the net in the fifth minute. The lead was then doubled in the 11th minute, as Ryan Hackett uncorked a powerful left footed shot from outside the penalty box into the right corner.
The lawmen responded in the form of Nicholas MacArthur, who halved the deficit in the 21st minute. However the two goal advantage was restored in the 29th minute following a Kelsey Benjamin conversion. McDonald then completed his brace in the 58th to seal the result.
