Cross Street kept their hopes alive of qualifying for the knockout stages, upsetting Alexander Village 2-0 on penalty kicks after normal time finished 1-1 when the Guinness Greatest of the Streets Georgetown edition continued yesterday.
With the scores locked at 1-1 at the end of regulation time at the National Cultural Centre Tarmac, Alexander Village would quickly fall behind as Delon Williams missed their first attempt from the mark, allowing Samuel Hunte to capitalise as he netted from the distance.
Alexander Village would then fail to find the back of the net in the second round of spot kicks as Quincy Bourne failed to hit the target.
With only a goal needed to seal the unlikely win, Ronaldo Dover would spark wild celebrations among the Cross Street supporters as he netted from the mark.
In the earlier moments of the matchup, Alexander Village would take the early lead in the seventh minute through a sublime Shemroy Porter strike.
Receiving a lobbed cross on the left side of the field, the veteran attacker would unleash a first-time right foot volleyed effort into the right-hand corner of the net.

In the opening fixture of the night, North East La Penitence clinched their berth to the knockout round as they brushed aside Riverview by a 3-0 score line. Quincy Success began the assault in the seventh minute with a finish down the centre of the goal from the middle of the park.
Timothy Telford would then make it 2-0 five minutes later, slotting home his first time right-footed attempt down the middle of the goal, after receiving a left sided pass.
The outcome would then be sealed in the 17th as Cordell Tudor netted, rifling his first-time right foot volleyed effort into the left corner of the goal, after receiving a cross from the right side of the field.
