Western Tigers earned their berth to the semi-final round in the Georgetown Football Association Super-8 Knockout Championship, defeating the Guyana Police Force 3-1 in extra time on Wednesday evening at the Georgetown Football Club ground, Bourda.
Following a score-less first half, Jemar Harrigon secured the initial lead for the lawmen in the 83rd minute. The lead proved to be short-lived, as Eusi Phillips equalised three minutes later.
Malachi Granum then made his presence felt, etching his name on the scorer’s sheet in the 105th minute. The score-line was then sealed in the 120th minute, as Jermaine Beckles scored.
