In a dramatic Sunday showdown at the Francis Baba Lastic Playing Field, GMC United delivered a remarkable comeback to defeat previously unbeaten New Generation FC 2-1 in the Kenson Casimir Bay Bay Cup tournament. The February 8th match saw New Generation seize an early advantage when Yanic Noel capitalized on a defensive error in the 18th minute, putting the Group A leaders ahead.
Despite trailing at halftime, the defending national club champions mounted a spirited second-half resurgence reminiscent of their midweek derby triumph over Dominators. GMC’s equalizer came through an extraordinary set-piece execution as Jayden Etienne curved a corner kick directly into the net. The turnaround was completed when captain Tonius Simon converted a decisive penalty, securing three crucial points for the Corinth-based squad.
Meanwhile, defending Bay Bay Cup holders Northern United continued their dominant form in Group B, establishing a commanding 3-0 halftime lead against Police FC. Dorian Marcellin, Devonte Herman, and Nicholas Lawrence all found the net before the interval. Although Police’s Tarrique Phillip managed a consolation goal in the 68th minute, Justice Germaine restored Northern United’s three-goal margin just two minutes later with a fourth strike.
The tournament landscape remains fluid as GMC United awaits Wednesday’s critical matchup between Gros Islet Youth and Dominators FC. While GMC currently holds second position in Group A, their semifinal qualification hinges on this pivotal fixture. In Group B, Police FC faces must-win circumstances against unbeaten Gros Islet Veterans to keep their advancement hopes alive.
