Tension rose as North Georgetown Secondary pulled off a sudden death penalty win over Patentia Secondary on Wednesday at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground when the Kashif and Shanghai Secondary School football tournament continued.
The game at the end of regulation time was 1-all but after sudden death spot kicks North Georgetown emerged 4-3 winners. Both teams had struggled to make positive attacking moves in the second-half.
Joshua Ferrier opened the game with a brilliant goal in the 14th minute to put North Georgetown ahead, sending the fans in attendance into an uproar.
However, the celebration would be short-lived as Patentia drew even with an electric strike from Kenton Boyce in the 22nd minute to give his team a fighting chance of making the quarter-final round.
The second half was filled with back and forth tussles between the teams, with play being distributed in the midfield.
With full time ending, penalties were left to decide the result but after the allotted five penalties per team it ended 3-3 draw until the deadlock was broken.
Meanwhile North Georgetown will next meet a very strong Waramadong team.
