Club Sando surrendered a two goal lead which allowed third placed team Police FC to rally back and draw the match 2-2 at the Ato Boldon Stadium on Thursday.
Kemuel Rivers opened the scoring for Sando in the 29th minute with a neat left side tuck-in after being freed to roam in Police penalty box. Rivers were first to arrived by the near post and would make no mistake as he slipped his shot pass the Police custodian.
Then three minutes later Keron Cornwall 32nd minute breakaway goal doubled the lead for the Southerns that gave them a comfortable 2-goal cushion.
However, Police wasn't done yet and responded on the brink of halftime when Joshua Leach netted a 45 minute goal that kept the men in blue alive. Leach, was allowed to run pass two of Sando's central defenders to slot home a right side cross.
Club Sando, who is coached by current National Under 20 assistant coach Angus Eve probably thought they had the game in the bag as Police just couldn't penetrate Sando's defence and full time was quickly approaching.
Then with 10 minutes of regulation time remaining the persistent Law-men hard work finally paid off.
Former T&T youth player Juma Clarence did the justice for Police when he met a left-side cross and headed the ball down and into the goal to seal the 2-2 tie as both teams shared the points each in the end.
