Moruga FC earned a spot in last night’s Southern Football Association League Cup final against Barrackpore United FC after a 4-3 penalty-kicks win over University of T&T at Barrackpore Recreation Ground on Monday night.

This after their second-leg semifinal ended in an entertaining 3-3 draw at the end of regulation-time for a 5-5 aggregrate score.

Kyle Morgan netted twice for Moruga and Amin Julien the other while Jamal Creighton got all three goals for UTT in regulation-time.

When both teams met in first-leg semifinal play, Creighton and Isaiah Mejias netted for UTT, to cancel out Morgan’s brace. 

Barrackpore had a much easier time in its semifinal as it routed Penal All Stars 7-1 on aggregate after 4-0 and 3-1 triumph.

In the first-leg, Keion La Rode, Stephen James and Chrislan Lane got a goal each while Andrew Samuel netted for All Stars, and in the second-leg, Rendell Brown netted a pair and Kiel Rebiero and Lane one apiece in the second-leg win.

The winner of the League Cup which took place at Barrackpore earns $4,000 and the runner-up, $2,000.

Moruga has already won the SFA Executive Cup beating Penal All Stars in the final.

Meanwhile, the SFA Premier Division “Big-Six” competition will conclude on Saturday with Marabella Family Crisis Centre only needing a point against Barrackpore to clinch the crown.

As it stands, Marabella leads the table by virtue of its superior goal-difference of plus-ten to Barrackpore’s plus-five, with both teams on ten points from four matches.

And Marabella will clinch the title with a draw when both teams meet on Saturday at Barrackpore, while the latter needs a win.
