Undefeated Western Tigers handed the Guyana Police Force (GPF) their first loss in the KFC Elite League Football Championship, prevailing 1-0 on Tuesday evening at the National Training Centre, Providence.

Golden Jaguars international midfielder Curtez Kellman settled the outcome in the battle of the undefeated teams following a 64th-minute conversion after the first half ended scoreless.

Tasked with the responsibility of a penalty kick following a clumsy inside the area, Kellman sent the goalkeeper the wrong way as he fired his right-footed effort into the lower right corner.

Contributing goals in the 26th, 34th, and 79th minute were Azandee King, Stefan Reynolds, and Shomar Koulen respectively.
