« on: January 24, 2015, 11:53:10 AM »Central F.C. go 6 points clear at top of Pro League after a 1-0 victory over W.Connection. This riveting game showed the best on offer from T&T league football with both teams matching each other across the field. As with most games featuring top teams, the match hinged on 2 moments. First, Marcano made his way to the touchline and swung in a cross which the keeper parried away only for that consistent poacher, Willis Plaza, to knock home to take the lead. In the second half Connection sent in a shot that finally found its way past the defence. Williams stretched for the near post and the ball hit the upright. Did Williams have it covered? We will never know, but the woodwork saved the 3 points for Central.
The game was very well balanced with both teams creating few chances due to the stalwart defending and the chess-like tactics of the coaches. It was never a dull game and was played at a fast tempo.
A great advert for T&T football and bodes well for both clubs ventures into the Caribbean Club Championships.
First game was a 1-0 win for North East vs Point Fortin. An own goal won the game, but it was a well matched game. North East played a more attacking game than usual and kept Marcus Joseph well at bay throughout the match.
Went to this game and for a top of the table clash, quite a dull affair, with all players looking lethargic, no passion what so ever. Jan is still the best GK in the league.
Bentick defended okay, but his passing was poor.
Guerra was very poor and then walked out after being subbed (unprofessional).
Plaza looked out of sorts, poor control and sloppy passing, but he scored even if it was a messy penalty box goal.
For the first 45 mis. Marvin Oliver was the best player on the field.
Bibo (Jomal Williams) was also very poor, not interested in the game at all.
