A second-half shootout between Police FC and La Horquetta Rangers ended with a share of the spoils in the second match of a TT Premier Football League (TTPFL) doubleheader, at the La Horquetta Recreation Ground.

After a goalless first half, Isaiah Lee fired Rangers ahead with a long-range strike in the 56th minute.

Police did not take long to respond, as Robert Primus notched the equaliser nine minutes later with a header from a free-kick.

The experienced Joevin Jones showed his class by scoring a free-kick to put Police in front in the 77th minute.

But Rangers would not go home empty-handed as a corner caused havoc in the Police box with Willis Plaza turning the ball into his own net in the 93rd minute.

In the earlier contest, Eagles FC brushed aside bottom-dwellers Central FC 3-1.

A double by forward Kevon "Showtime" Woodley kept Central FC still searching for a point after eight games this season.

Exilus Angelo opened the scoring for Eagles FC in the third minute, before Woodley made it 2-0 four minutes later. The lanky forward was on target again in the 82nd to put the game to bed.

Levin Caballero scored a consolation for Central FC in the 86th.

The victory lifted the Michael De Four-coached Eagles, formerly Cunupia FC, to eighth in the 11-team standings. Eagles have gicen a strong account themselves this season and given a few title contenders some scares along the way.
