Out-of-favour T&T midfielder Jomal Williams was among the goals for LA Firpo in their 4-1 triumph over Dragon in the El Salvador Primera Division Clausura at the Juan Francisco Barraza Stadium, San Miguel, El Salvador on Sunday.
LA Firpo took the lead as early as the sixth minute through Jose Gumero before the 29-year-old Williams doubled the score line in the 20th minute with his third goal in as many matches.
Carlos Ortiz extended LA Firpo's advantage to 3-0 on the hour mark, but five minutes later Yerson Tobar pulled a goal back for Dragon, only for Ortiz to add another five minutes from the end of regulation time.
The win was the seventh in 12 matches for LA Firpo and lifted them to third spot on the 12-club table with 22 points from 12 matches, two behind leaders Municipal Limeno while CD Platense is second with 23, and Alianza, fourth with 21.
Today, Williams and LA Firpo are back in action against Fuerte San Francisco, second from bottom of the standings with seven points, three ahead of Joroco FC which is bottom with four points, and a match in hand.
Luke Singh heads for another Atletico loan spell
T&T defender Luke Singh has returned to Canadian Premier League club Atlético Ottawa from US Major League Soccer's Toronto FC, on a season-long loan.
Singh has already travelled to Mexico in order to meet up with the rest of the Atlético Ottawa squad to begin intensive preparations for the 2024 season which begins on April 13.
The 23-year-old Canadian-born Singh had a successful loan period in the nation’s capital in 2023, featuring regularly for Atlético Ottawa before making his international debut with T&T at the Concacaf Gold Cup in a 3-0 win over St Kitts and Nevis in June.
He scored one goal, an incredible acrobatic effort at TD Place against Cavalry FC which was named as the best goal of the CPL season.
“I’m really excited to be back,” said Singh. “Last year, I learned to be a better person, as well as a better player and teammate. I love the environment and staff on offer at Atlético. I honestly loved being in Ottawa, and I’m really excited to come back. I have a great bond and connection with a lot of the returning players. We started to build a strong chemistry last season, and having been through it in 2023 it will only make us stronger.”
Singh made 25 league appearances for Atlético Ottawa last season and was a stalwart of head coach Carlos González’s defence, dictating play from the back. The 23-year-old ambidextrous defender made the most passes of any player (1,258) on Atlético’s team in the 2023 CPL campaign, whilst making the most blocks (8), the most clearances (70) and the second-most recoveries (130).
The versatile defender came up through the TFC Academy and made his debut for the first team in the MLS in April 2021.
Singh went on to make six appearances in the MLS, as well as playing in the Concacaf Champions Cup against Club León (Mexico), before joining FC Edmonton on loan for the 2022 CPL season, featuring 24 times.
