For the first 10 minutes of the game, both teams matched each other strength to strength. The Defence Force began to create opportunities on the right hand side with Terran Winner (right winger) giving Police defenders a tough time due to his nippy footwork and enticing crossing.

The Police defenders seemed to have a hard time challenging the pressure of their competition in the first half of the game.

The newly implemented rule of water breaks to ensure hydration was maintained was called at 2.20pm. After the break, Defence Force came from the resumption within minutes as Jakeem Mc Neil took his team ahead with a cool finish after dribbling around the police defenders and leaving the police goalkeeper no chance as his shot buried neatly into the net.

Police would then respond with a cross from the left side from Jananee Ramsaran which was totally misjudged by the Defence Force goalkeeper. As the ball fell into the back of the net, one could notice the police players raise in spirit, but only to see eight minutes before the half time a magnificent pass from Defence Force -Chileon Phillip to put Michel Poon-Angeron one on one with police custodian as he dribbled the on rushing goalkeeper and rolled the ball in to the back of the net.

The second half started of brightly for police, as their striker smothered his shot straight into the hands of the Defence Force’s goalkeeper, Jordan Bidaaisee, which ended in a missed opportunity. Defence force showing their brilliance in front of goal once again, leading up from a cross from the right hand side of the field saw Kalev Keil converting his shot effortlessly with the cross ball beating everyone but him.

Police did not give up neither did Jordan Bidaaisee and his team mates after a stunning save which kept out Jerome Mason’s free kick which came curling to the top left hand corner.

Police did not relent in search of another goal and created two delicious chances which saw Elijah Williams heading wide in the six yards box and his other attempt gracefully going wide off the upright. And so the game would end with Defence Force coming out victorious three goals to one (3-1).
