Angostura 1976 Phoenix FC suffered a 3-2 defeat by Club Sando in the bmobile National Super League, League Championship tournament in Trinidad on Sunday.
The Canaan/Bon Accord-based team went into the game hoping to register a second consecutive victory but they were outplayed by the opponents.
Club Sando enjoyed the better of the exchanges and had much more ball possession. They opened their account midway in the first half and went into the half with their one-goal buffer.
On the resumption, Phoenix looked sharper in the first five minutes and was soon rewarded with the equalizer courtesy a beauty from Andel Noray.
However, their success was short-lived as soon after Sando went ahead and took full control of the game. They sealed the issue ten minutes before full time while Phoenix got a consolation goal just before the final whistle.
Head coach Terry Williams, like the other coaches now has the challenge of keeping his charges interested and mentally and physically prepared over the next month when competition will be temporarily suspended.
