– Bent Street, Silver Bullets and Leopold Street also advance
SPARTA Boss, Bent Street, Silver Bullets and Leopold Street booked their places in tomorrow’s semi-finals of the inaugural Legacy ‘Magnum Mash Cup’ Futsal tournament, following their respective wins in Wednesday’s quarter-finals at the National Gymnasium.
The results meant that fans will see Bent Street take on Linden’s Silver Bullets, while Sparta Boss will lock horns with Leopold Street, and the two winners will advance to Sunday’s final, where they will do battle for the tournament’s $400 000 first-place prize.
In the opening game of the quarter-finals, it was an all-Linden clash, but in the end, thanks to Damion Williams’ hat-trick, Silver Bullets cruised past Swag Entertainment 4-2.
Williams scored in the 20th, 33rd and 36th minutes, while Jermaine Samuels netted in the 34th minute for Silver Bullets. Shane Luckie, a usual marksman for Swag Entertainment, and Clive Nobrega were the goalscorers for the losing side.
In the night’s second clash, Bent Street rallied to a 5-3 win over Showstoppers, with Andrew Murray (16th and 19th), Sheldon Profitt (3rd and 27th) and King Solomon Austin recording the team’s other strike.
Delroy Ferdinand (13th and 22nd) and Ricky Reddy (17th) found the back of the net for Showstoppers.
Meanwhile, after being locked on a goal each at the end of the regulation and extra time, Leopold Street needled (1-0) Gold is Money with kicks from the penalty spot to advance.
In the evening’s final game, Gregory ‘Jackie Chan’ Richardson carried Sparta Boss to a 2-1 win over Ol Skool Ballers.
Richardson scored his first of two goals just three minutes into play, but, in the ninth minute, Quason McAulay pulled one back for Ol Skool Ballers.
However, 10 minutes later Richardson scored the eventual winning for the team who are considered the ‘proverbial’ kings of futsal in Guyana.
