AFTER many nights of closely-fought action, the title of 2018 Turbo Knockout Football Champions will be decided between Northern Rangers Football Club (NRFC) and Georgetown Football Club (GFC).

Semi-final action ended on Thursday evening at the Ministry of Education (MoE) ground and the finalists will lace up next week in a mouth-watering clash.

In the first semi-final GFC made early inroads into the Mahaica Determinators, putting them on the back foot early and securing that all-important win.

After Daniel Ross got the ball rolling in the 11th minute and Ralph Parris doubled the score in the 32nd minute, the Georgetown based side never looked back.

A few close calls and scares were all that GFC had to worry about in an otherwise routine game.

In the second game, Northern Rangers were made to work for their win against Santos FC in a match which went right down to penalties.

For the greater part of the match, Santos had the lead, granted through Orin Yarde in the 16th minute and they did well to fend off the incoming challenges of the Rangers.

At the halftime whistle, things were going according to plan for the Santos side but sure enough, Nigel Denny in the 70th minute brought things level again.

For the remaining 20 minutes, the action intensified with both teams searching for that decisive goal that would give them the spot in the final.

Even in extra-time, things were still deadlocked, both sides getting into scoring positions several times but squandering their chances to take the game home.

At the end, however, Rangers succeeded 4-2 to move onto the final.

Mahaica and Santos will contest the third-place playoff next Tuesday from 19:00hrs.
