Linden bounce back to beat Rupununi 3-1 to remain unbeaten after two games
AFTER a listless opening period, Linden awoke with three second-half goals to secure a 3-1 come-from-behind victory over Region 9’s Rupununi, when the two sides clashed in a NAMILCO National playoffs fixture at the Wisburg Secondary School ground Sunday afternoon last.
The home team were pegged back by a seventh-minute goal registered by Guy Moses in the first half and were leading when the first half ended 1-0.
However, the Linden team adjusted themselves well, settled down and scored three goals in quick succession to halt the visiting side.
Rodersio Tudor first netted to knot the scores in the 54th minute for a 1-1 score-line. Two minutes later Shemaiah Samuels put Linden ahead with his strike in the 56th minute and as they led 2-2, Region 9 could not find their rhythm anymore.
In the 60th minute, goal number three was scored as Omarion Ramsammy found the back of the net to seal the win as Linden cruised to a 3-1 win.
Linden now has two wins from two matches after they first defeated West Demarara 4-1 while Rupununi had also recorded victory against West Demerara by a 4-3 score.
