Defence Force completed the first round of the Ascension Football Tournament unbeaten after a clinical 3-0 victory over Real West Fort United on Saturday at the Arima Velodrome.
Army have amassed 23 points (7 wins, 2 draws) from their nine games and are tied on points with Terminix La Horquetta Rangers but are second on the table because of lesser goals scored.
Striker Jameel Boatswain hot streak continued, and he is now the top goal scorer in the tournament with ten goals after he scored two exquisite goals in the 8th and 58th minute. Darius Ollivierra was the other scorer for Army in the 76th minute rounded off the 3-0 victory.
Moruga FC displayed their best performance of the tournament thus far, but it was not enough to defeat their Southern counterparts as they lost 2-1 to Deportivo Point Fortin.
Deportivo`s Ezekiel Kesar got the first item of the match in the fourth minute giving his team the 1-0 lead. However, Moruga FC switched gears and piled on the pressure and were rewarded with an equalizing goal in the 34th minute through Keion Larode. Then, moments before the end of the first half Nathaniel Garcia recaptured the one goal lead for Deportivo. In the second half, there were several squandered chances by both teams, but the game ended 2-1 in favour of Deportivo PF.
Deportivo PF remains in fourth spot with 17 points (5 wins, 2 draws) whilst Moruga FC are still pointless.
