G/town Zone Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’…Gaza Squad defeats Sparta to leave them in danger

Nov 30, 2017 Sports, https://www.kaieteurnewsonline...eave-them-in-danger/

-action returns this evening at National Cultural Centre

Gaza Squad produced a gutsy performance to first hold defending champions Sparta Boss to a goalless draw and then outlasts them 4-3 in a penalty shootout to leave the reigning title holders in a precarious position to qualify for the Round of 16.

Appearing in the final fixture, before another impressive crowd on Tuesday night, at the National Cultural Centre Tarmac, the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Georgetown Zone champions squandered numerous chances to score and paid the ultimate price, going down in a tense penalty shootout.

It simply means that they will need to win their final round robin fixture against Channel Nine Warriors this evening to guarantee a place in the next phase.

Rising Stars then handed another former champion Back Circle a loss, drubbing them 4-1 which also left them needing a win in their final group encounter to advance.
