Portmore rally to beat Harbour View in JPL

Portmore United secured a commanding 4-1 comeback victory against Harbour View in their Jamaica Premier League clash at Waterhouse on Monday, propelling them to sole possession of second place in the league standings. The win elevated Portmore to 18 points, just four points behind league leaders Montego Bay United. Harbour View initially took the lead in the 27th minute through Trayvone Reid’s third goal of the season, but Portmore equalized eight minutes later. Marques Reid’s 62nd-minute strike put Portmore ahead, and late goals from substitutes Ramone Howell (88th minute) and Orlando Russell (90th minute) sealed the emphatic win. In the second game of the doubleheader, Tivoli Gardens, despite being reduced to 10 men, edged Arnett Gardens 2-1 to break into the top six for the first time this season. Denville Watson opened the scoring for Tivoli in first-half stoppage time, but Shai Smith equalized for Arnett in the 53rd minute. After Anthony Nelson’s 71st-minute red card, Kimarley Smith’s stunning long-range effort in second-half stoppage time secured the victory for Tivoli, ending their three-game winless streak and marking their first back-to-back wins of the season.
