Bermudas 1  El Salvador 0

Esta noche, los eventos tuvieron lugar bajo un campo barrido por la lluvia en el Estadio Nacional con Bermudas recibiendo a los gigantes centroamericanos El Salvador a las 8:00 p.m.

El delantero internacional de las Bermudas, Nahki Wells, llevó a su equipo al campo junto con el delantero de su compatriota Dandy Town, Reggie Lamb, a quien ambos regresaron a casa de sus obligaciones profesionales en Inglaterra.

Ambos equipos entraron al terreno de juego bajo las fuertes lluvias con los simpatizantes de las Bermudas manteniéndose firmes en medio de las condiciones para capear el temporal y asegurar la victoria para las Bermudas.

El capitán de las Bermudas, Dente Leverock, también está disponible para volar desde su equipo europeo.

El Salvador no tardó en lanzar su plan de juego en suelo de las Bermudas para demostrar que la práctica vale la pena.

Pero con un giro rápido de Nahki Wells en el medio del campo, Bermuda pudo contraatacar a la defensa salvadoreña y con un cruce de calidad en el área de penal, y Bermuda pudo anotar el gol del triunfo en la segunda mitad.

Bermudas: Nahki Wells, Reggie Lambe, Jahquil Hill, Zeiko Lewis, Dante Leverock, Wendell Tre Ming, Dale Eve, Lejaun Simmons, William White, Cecoy Robinson, Jaylon Bather, Daren Usher, Tevahn Tyrrell, Donte Brangman, Roger Lee, Liam Evans , Tomiko Goater, Osagi Bascome, Willie Clemons, Calon Minors y Casey Castle.

Maters League KO Cup

This week defending champions Prospect United hosted the undefeated league leaders Flanagan’s in the 1^st round of the Masters Knock Out Cup.

Still feeling the blows from losing to St Georges, Prospect was determined not to have the same fate again today. Player coach Thompson was called to referee duties in the middle of the pitch to ensure the game was marshalled fairly.

The whistle blew a few minutes past 3:00 pm with both teams ready for the occasion. Prospect playing against the wind found themselves pinned in front of the Flanagan’s net launching shot after shot and amassing numerous corners kicks from the spot, eventually, Barbados international Miller slipped his shot over the goal line after striking the underside of the cross bar to open the scoring.

Moments later on the very next restart Flanagan’s were awarded a free kick after loose ball was handled. Keeper Lawrence drove to his right and nearly saved the kick but the power behind the ball forced it past his gloves equaling the score at 1-1 into the 1^st half of play.

Both teams enter the half gasping for water and were accompanied by dry heat of the day. Coach Thompson urged his team on knowing that the knock out cup was a win or go home scenario.

The second half began similar to the first however Prospect found their finishing touch through English international striker Jonathan Wood who struck home not just once, twice, three times but 4 times in the second half to ensure that his talent wasn’t just sheer luck and secured the win for the home side and reestablished the clubs winning ways in defeating Flanagan’s in the opening round of the KO cup.
