IT was a tense night of football action as the Corona Invitational Football tournament, organised by the Petra Organisation concluded its round-robin segment.
In the first of the games, Santos were in no playful mood as they disposed of East Veldt FC 8-0.

Kacy John led the line with half of the side’s goals and all in the second half, commencing in the 51st then 62nd, 78th and 88th.
Valuable support came from William Europe with goals in the 24th and 63rd while Sherwin Skeete and Lionel Holder chipped in with one each in the 26th and 90th respectively.
In the second game of the night, GFC dropped the hammer on Beacons FC with a brace from Benjamin Opera in the 1st and 66th.

Alberto Da Santa and Dwayne Robeiro also scored one each in the 22nd and 53rd..
Quasan Mcaulay was the man on target in the 34th for the Beacons who bowed out of the competition.
Game three was a battle royal and probably one of the best to end the night and the round, with a potential final featuring Western Tigers and Police.

In the end, it was the Tigers who roared loudest but not before having their fair share of issues. Dwayne McLennon’s 20th minute strike opened the scoring for the Tigers but Antonio Wallace responded right on the brink of the half to ensure that the half ended level.

It took a Phillip Rowley intervention in the 71st minute to give Western Tigers the eventual lead once more which held to the finish
In Friday’s quarter-finals, Northern Rangers will play Camptown from 19:00hrs while the Western Tigers will face longtime rivals Pele FC.
