Capital FC overcame Hi-Stars 2-1 when the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) sanctioned ‘Mash Cup’ commenced on Sunday at the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) ground, Linden.
Keon Sears and Emmanuel Atkins recorded goals in the 39th and 68th minute respectively to secure the vital result. For the loser, Martin Leacock netted in the 52nd minute.
The experienced Sears opened the scoring with a trademark finish. Awarded a free kick outside the left of the penalty box, Sears placed a curling right footed effort into the right corner, giving the goalkeeper no chance. Upon the resumption of action, Leacock made his presence felt to level proceedings. Takes with the responsibility of penalty kick following a handball infraction, Leacock made no mistake from the distance as he placed his effort beyond the reach of the diving shot-stopper.
