After the break, Defence Force came from the resumption within minutes as Jakeem Mc Neil took his team ahead with a cool finish after dribbling around the police defenders and leaving the police goalkeeper no chance as his shot buried neatly into the net.
Police would then respond with a cross from the left side from Jananee Ramsaran which was totally misjudged by the Defence Force goalkeeper. As the ball fell into the back of the net, one could notice the police players raise in spirit, but only to see eight minutes before the half time a magnificent pass from Defence Force -Chileon Phillip to put Michel Poon-Angeron one on one with police custodian as he dribbled the on rushing goalkeeper and rolled the ball in to the back of the net.
The second half started of brightly for police, as their striker smothered his shot straight into the hands of the Defence Force’s goalkeeper, Jordan Bidaaisee, which ended in a missed opportunity. Defence force showing their brilliance in front of goal once again, leading up from a cross from the right hand side of the field saw Kalev Keil converting his shot effortlessly with the cross ball beating everyone but him.
