In a commanding display of football prowess, Club Sando ascended to the top of the TT Premier Football League (TTPFL) standings with a decisive 3-0 triumph over San Juan Jabloteh at Mahaica Sporting Complex on November 30. Under the strategic guidance of coach Angus Eve, Sando delivered their fifth victory in six seasonal outings, demonstrating both offensive flair and defensive solidity.
The match unfolded with Sando establishing early dominance, particularly through the dynamic wing play of Real Gill, who consistently dismantled Jabloteh’s defensive structure. After creating several promising opportunities, Sando broke the deadlock in the 21st minute when striker Tarik Lee clinically finished from close range—marking his seventh goal of the campaign—following exquisite combination play between Gill and midfielder Keron Cornwall.
Gill continued to orchestrate Sando’s attacking maneuvers, nearly doubling the advantage moments later with a perfectly weighted pass to captain Shervohnez Hamilton, only to be denied by an exceptional point-blank save from Jabloteh goalkeeper Justin Dos Santos. Sando’s first-half pressure yielded additional near-misses, including Gill’s curling strike that rattled the crossbar at the half-hour mark.
Despite brief second-half resistance from Jabloteh—including threatening attempts from winger Andell Fraser and center forward Malachi Webb—Sando maintained control. The victory was sealed through two late goals from Luke Phillips, who first headed home from Gill’s precision free-kick delivery in the 79th minute before completing his brace five minutes later with a low left-footed finish after Gill dispossessed Jadon McShine.
The result propelled Sando to first place with 15 points, tied with Prisons but superior in goal difference (+16 versus +7). In the evening’s secondary fixture, Police FC secured a 2-0 victory over Point Fortin Civic through goals from Mickaeel Gordon and Isaiah Hudson, consolidating their third-place position with 13 points.
