Newcomer Unstoppable created the first major upset of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Georgetown Championship as they defeated Back Circle 1-0 on Friday evening at the National Park tarmac, Thomas Lands.
Anthony Allen slammed his effort into the right corner in the fifth minute to secure the unexpected victory.
Meanwhile, two-time defending champions Gold is Money were in imperious form as they bested Laing Avenue 2-0. Shemar Koulen and Jamal Pedro scored in the seventh and 14th minutes, respectively.
Similarly, Lodge All-Stars and Sophia B also got their campaigns off to a perfect start following hard-fought wins. Lodge All-Stars downed the Albouystown Warriors 3-2.
The trio of Carl Higgins, Antonio MacArthur, and Chai Williams netted in the sixth, 11th, and 15th minutes, respectively. On target in the loss was Timothy Thomas, who recorded a ‘Guinness Goal’ (GG) [a goal scored in the final three minutes of normal time counts as two] in the 18th minute.
Likewise, Sophia B squeaked past Young Gunners 1-0 via an Osric Barrow conversion in the seventh minute. The tournament continues today at the same venue with the final round of group stages.
