KINGSTON, Jamaica — In a stunning reversal of fortune that will be remembered as one of the most remarkable comebacks in Jamaican football history, Treasure Beach FC engineered a spectacular second-half recovery to defeat Harbour View 4-3 in their Jamaica Premier League encounter on Thursday. The match, staged at Harbour View’s home ground, witnessed an unprecedented turnaround after the hosts established what appeared to be an insurmountable three-goal advantage by halftime.
Harbour View’s dominance in the opening half was unmistakable, with Omar Thompson initiating the scoring in the fourth minute. Trayvone Reid extended the lead from the penalty spot in the 13th minute, followed by Rohan Brown’s ninth seasonal goal during added time, solidifying what seemed certain victory.
The narrative shifted dramatically in the second half as Treasure Beach mounted an extraordinary resurgence. Chandol Anderson ignited the comeback with a 55th-minute penalty conversion, followed by Daniel Hardy narrowing the deficit to a single goal by the 65th minute. An own goal committed by Harbour View in the 83rd minute leveled the scoreline, setting the stage for Omari Brown’s decisive 86th-minute winner that completed the historic turnaround.
This victory marks Treasure Beach’s second win in three matches, propelling them to 12th position with 18 points while demoting Harbour View to 13th place with 15 points. The result carries significant implications for both clubs’ relegation prospects as the season progresses.
