It was night of red cards in Linden, as defending champion, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) defeated Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) All-Stars 3-0 on Wednesday evening in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF)/Kashif and Shanghai Super-16 Championship.
The return of football to the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) ground in Linden, witnessed the issuing of three red cards for the UDFA, which certainly extinguished any hopes of the home side dethroning the current holders.
The first expulsion for the hosts occurred in the 26th minute, as Trevon Archibald was sent off by the official for a two-footed challenge on an opponent. Despite the numerical advantage, the army unit failed to capitalise as the score-line remained unchanged at 0-0.
