Prisons FC extended their flawless run in the 2025/26 TT Premier Football League (TTPFL) with a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Terminix La Horquetta Rangers at the St James Police Barracks on November 23. Despite a less-than-polished performance, a decisive 70th-minute header by substitute Ricardo John propelled Prisons back to the top of the 12-team league table, displacing Club Sando to second place. The match, part of a double-header at the barracks, began with both teams aggressively seeking an early advantage. However, the game’s momentum shifted in the 31st minute when Rangers defender Abdul Lezama received a second yellow card for a needless handball, reducing his team to ten men. Rangers managed to hold off Prisons’ attacks until halftime, with winger Jeremiah Vidale’s close-range effort saved and his follow-up shot hitting the crossbar. The second half saw Rangers adopt a defensive stance, while Prisons relentlessly pressed forward. Despite several missed opportunities, including a disallowed goal for offside and two squandered chances by John, the breakthrough came in the 70th minute when John headed in a cross from Israel Williams. Rangers’ late substitution, Tyrique Sutherland, nearly equalized in the 89th minute, but his powerful strike narrowly missed the target. Prisons now face a stern test against MIC Central FC Reboot on November 29 at the Arima Velodrome. In the day’s earlier match, 2023/24 champions AC Port of Spain rallied to defeat Point Fortin Civic 2-1, moving up to fifth in the standings. Meanwhile, Defence Force secured a late 2-1 victory over 1976 FC Phoenix, and Police FC surged to a 4-2 win against FC Eagles, solidifying their third-place position.
