Tevin Balfor's lone goal in the 76th minute ensured that Defence Force FC not only maintained their lead in the National Super League, but extended it to four points after they beat Bethel United at Montgomery Recreation Ground on Sunday.
Guaya United were the biggest winners on the field Sunday, as they scored four of the six goals in their encounter with Stokely Vale. Guaya raced to a 2-0 lead in the first five minutes after Jody Alsop and an own goal put them in pole position for the win. Shortly after the break, Carlon Hughes made it 3-0. Travis Winchester gave Stokely Vale a glimmer of hope, scoring their first goal in the 60th minute.
There would be no miracle comeback however, as seven minutes later, Ryan Stewart scored Guaya's fourth goal. Leshawn Robert's consolation item in the 80th came too little too late to be significant as Guaya ran out 4-2 winners.
Siparia Spurs edged Matura Re United 3-2 with Jesse Edwards scoring a double, and Daniel Diaz scoring the third to make the result certain.
Matura had taken a 2-1 lead in the first half when Irvin Reyes scored a quick brace of his own in the 35th and 37th minutes, however they were unable to hold on to their advantage as Diaz equalised in the 62nd minute, and Edwards scored the winner four minutes from time.
WASA FC won 2-0 at home when they took on Club Sando Moruga with goals from Fabian Garcia and Daniel Diaz, but the win only moved them up one place to sixth in the table.
Jean-Paul Aqui-Blanc scored as early as the second minute to put Santa Rosa in front against NCLB La Horquetta. La Horquetta needed a favour to come away with a point however, as an own goal in the 81st minute against FC Santa Rosa came to their aid.
Marabella Crisis Centre drew 0-0 with 1976 FC Phoenix, however the result was good enough to move both teams up a place, as the match between Real Maracas FC and Police FC had to be rescheduled. Marabella now sit in second in the overall standings while Phoenix are third.
