For­mer na­tion­al strik­er Trevin Cae­sar re­stored the lead for Club San­do on the hour mark, but John then net­ted his first in the 71st minute to get Jabloteh even again.

How­ev­er, with­in three min­utes the An­gus Eve-coached Club San­do out­fit went ahead for the third time in the match thanks to Shack­iel Hen­ry and looked well set to hang on for all three points un­til John drew Jabloteh even again in the 86th. Then, a minute in­to time added on John banged home the win­ner from the penal­ty spot af­ter a han­dled ball in­fringe­ment.

Sev­en min­utes af­ter the restart, Jo­moul Fran­cois re­stored Rangers’ slim ad­van­tage be­fore Kadeem Corbin made it 3-1 in the 63rd, fol­lowed by Ross Rus­sell Jr’s 73rd-minute strike to seal all three points.

In Di­vi­sion Two, Yohannes Richard­son net­ted twice to lead San Fer­nan­do Gi­ants to a 5-2 win over Bethel Unit­ed at the Man­nie Ramjohn Sta­di­um Train­ing Field, Mara­bel­la and with it the lead on the 12-team ta­ble.
