PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC):
SURINAME'S INTER Moengotapoe pulled off a shock 2-1 win over former champions Harbour View at Marabella on Tuesday to leave the Jamaicans on the brink of elimination from the CFU Club Championships.
The Jamaicans, who drew 2-2 with Islanders on Sunday, took the lead in the 16th minute via a Jermaine Hue goal but, on the stroke of halftime, Gerard Adensida drew Inter level.
With eight minutes left in the match, Bryen Damba snatched the winner for the Surinamese club at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium.
Double-digit win
Meanwhile, Baltimore de St. Marc of Haiti and American A League club Puerto Rico Islanders recorded a double-digit win on the second day of round-robin action.
Baltimore, led by a four-timer from Luxene Elestin, punished Jong Colombia of Netherland Antilles 12-0 in Group E at Guaracara Park, Pointe-a-Pierre.
Elestin goals came in the 12th, 22nd, 39th and 56th minutes, while Emerlin Nicholas (71st and 77th) and Gabriel Michel (84th and 89th) added a pair of goals each in the win to push their team to a maximum six points and a point away from the quarter-finals.
Cuba's Pinar del Rio were expected to join Baltimore on maximum points, but were upstaged by Bassa SC of Antigua & Barbuda 2-1 in the first match at Pointe-a-Pierre.
Reinier Nunez, who netted in the Cubans' 5-1 win over Jong Colombia on Sunday, again found the mark for his team in the eight minute.
In the second period, however, the Antiguans turned things around after Jamie Thomas fired in the equaliser in the 47th minute, and Ranja Christian struck the winner in the 63rd to set up an interesting final round of matches today.
Light work
In Marabella, the Islanders made light work of Antigua and Barbuda's Sap FC in a 10-0 mauling to improve to four points after two matches in Group C.
Fabrice Noel scored four times for the Islanders (10th, 45th, 47th, 48th), while Albelto Zapata chipped in with a hat-trick (45th, 50th, 73rd). Victor Herrera, Malco Velez, and Albelto Delgado also tallied. At the Hasely Crawford Stadium in the T&T capital, Atullah Guerra scored a double as T&T club and 2003 winners San Juan Jabloteh began their campaign with a comfortable win.
Guerra opened the scoring for Jabloteh in the 21st, while he concluded the scoring in the 79th minute in a 5-0 blow-out of Centro Social Deportivo Barber of the Netherlands Antilles in Group A.
Gason Gregory also found the target for Jabloteh in the 24th minute to lead 2-0 at the break, while Peter Byers (49th) and Shandell Samuel (53rd) added second-half strikes.
Need one point to advance
To advance, Jabloteh now need only a point from their final match at the same venue against SV Deportivo Nacional of Aruba, who drew 1-1 with Barber on Sunday.
In Group D, SV Leo Victor of Suriname set up a group decider with Jamaica's Portmore United after beating Helenites of the United States Virgin Islands 4-0 at the Marvin Lee Stadium.
Vangillino Sastromadjo scored twice for Leo Victor (51st and 81st), after Randwil Ainsaini (28th) and Sazel Hoog Rorp (33rd) got first-half goals.
In Tuesday's late match, 1998 winners Joe Public of T&T, led by a double from national midfielder Kerry Baptiste, slammed South East United of Dominica 5-0 with all the goals coming in the first-half.
The round-robin series ends today with quarter-final matches taking place on Sunday.
