San Ignacio, March 31, 2013
It was win some, lose some for 4th place team, San Ignacio United, as they enjoyed a 3-2 win against Verdes at the Norman Broaster Stadium in San Ignacio on Sunday; after a 3-0 loss to the Belize Defense Force last Wednesday night.
Seannon Deour led the San Ignacio attack, delighting the home fans with the 1st goal in the 16th minute; when he recovered a deflected ball from Verdes’ goalie Ryan Serazia, who could not hold on to a shot from Eric Guzman.
Verdes luck did not improve when they found themselves down to 10 men after central referee Gerald Henry ejected Everald Trapp for protesting the referee’s call and then angrily kicking away the ball.
Leonard Valdez headed in San Ignacio’s 2nd goal in the 28th minute when he connected to a pass to center from midfielder Everald “Tarry” Gabourel as the home squad led 2-0 at the half time break.
Verdes’ Najib Guerra pulled one back for the visitors in the 46th minute right after the break. Gilroy “Bredda” Thurton coming off the Verdes’ bench had a chance for the equalizer when he received a pass from Emmanuel Martinez in front of the goal, but he let San Ignacio’s goalie Gerardo Vanegas off the hook by sending the ball over the crossbar.
Garret Bermudez came off San Ignacio’s bench to score a 3rd goal when he headed in a pass to center from a corner kick executed by Carlos Vasquez in the 60th minute.
Emmanuel Martinez scored Verdes’ 2nd goal when he picked up a pass to center from Javier Habet and blasted the ball past Vanegas in injury time, but the home defenders Eric Guzman, Felix Miranda, Gilberto Carillo and Anthony Morgan locked out Verdes in the remaining time to secure the 3-2 win.
