HARBOUR VIEW FC defeats Centro Baber by 2-0 to win
Zone A of the 2006 CFU Caribbean Club Championship!.
Kavin Bryan becomes leading goalscorer with three
goals from two games.
GAME 5:
Positive Vibes of US Virgin Islands register their
first victory of a 3-2 win
over Aigle Noir of Haiti to finish third.
They came determined to leave the ?Land of Wood and
Water? with a victory attached to their name and as
such they pushed forward into attack early to be
rewarded when Captain, Ernest Baron got up to
converted a penalty after 20 minutes.
Then the experience of Collister Fahie came to the
fore when he outsmarted the Aigle Noir backline to
beat the offside trap and lob over the head of the
unrushing custodian La Paix Yves Edouard into the
unprotected goal after 31 minutes.
Gifted with a surprise two-goal margin the confidence
of the men from the Virgin Islands soared as the
Haitian contingent looked unsure in possession and
attack. It only got better initially in the second
half as the substitute Daren Francis tapped home from
close range in the 64th minute for what seemed a
secure 3-0 lead.
Aigle Noir now faced with yet another stalk defeat,
finally summoned up some attacking courage to score in
the 85th and 89th minutes through substitute Weeklenky
Bernard then Wedson Anselme to salvage some pride,
while securing an acceptable looking 2-3 defeat.
GAME 6:
Harbour View FC 2 Centro Baber 0.
The eleventh minutes strike from the boot of Kavin
Bryan to finish off a right-sided cross from Loxely
Thomas was exactly what the Technical Staff needed, to
go ahead of Curacao?s Centro Baber early.
Centro Baber had come closest to opening the scoring
when a ball played across the goal was won by Kemmeth
Kumst and he turned it onto the upright before it
being cleared far upfield by Waugh. Then again after
the goal was scored, when Perez slipped inside two
defenders to head wide of the near post as it gazed at
him from just 5 yards away.
With those scares behind them the host pressed forward
to inflict another telling blow before halftime but
that was not to be.
The hosts Harbour View FC who only had a 1-0 goal
advantage aimed now to score more than two unanswered
goals to win the Zone A and advance to the semi-finals
and/or Finals.
It would take Oniel ?Bigga? Smith?s 57 minute, right
cross to baffle the goalkeeper as he hurried back into
his goal, he was only good enough to deflect it from
the fingers into back of the net for goal number 2.
The result means Harbour View Football Club advances
to the semi-finals and has assisted in organising the
start of the Competition in Zones A and B next weekend
in some significant way in Jamaica
