Caledonia 3 - 1 T&TEC
St Anns Rangers 1 - 1 Central F.C.
Central F.C. started with a very attacking line up and had two chances in first minute. Basically, it was one way traffic, with the Sharks having the majority of possession and putting together some good passing movements. Rangers were playing a counter attack system with 5 across the middle, condensing the play. Jan Michael Williams saved Rangers on several occasions, two of which, in my opinion, any other keeper in the league would have conceded.
Rangers were confined to the occasional break away when the pretty solid Central defence were caught too far forward, but mostly Rangers relied on long shots most of which, literally, went out of the stadium.
Eventually, after half a dozen good chances, a nice move saw Trim get behind the Rangers defence and slot home. Then a very loud shout for a Central penalty was denied. I didn't get a good look, but you can usually tell from players reaction if it was just, and this did appear to be a hand ball.
Second half, more of the same. But as a football supporter, a 1-0 scoreline when you're dominating a game is a bit scary, and so said, so done, Rangers scored a beautiful equaliser from distance out on the left. This gave Rangers a bit of a lift, but they really didn't stop the onslaught by Central, which again saw many close calls. There was some poor finishing, some poor crossing, but mainly that man Williams was the problem. Britto hit the bar and Marcano had an effort that spun off Williams hand towards the corner in slow motion only to kiss the outside of the post for a corner.
Definitely two very important points dropped by Central, but it was really good to see Jan -Michael out there, and he has to be part of the Gold Cup squad.
