Wolues Keep Pressure on VG United
Wolues FC demonstrated their championship pedigree with a second-half masterclass against Positive FC at the Greenland Football Stadium on Sunday.
Although Positive struck first with an 11th-minute goal from Tyron O’loughlin, Wolues came out of the halftime break determined to dominate. Goals came in quick succession from Alexander Edwards (51st, 62nd), Hugo Liziario (63rd), James Malley (69th), and Charlie Potgieter (79th, 90th). An own goal by Atte Heino in stoppage time gifted Positive their second goal, but Wolues walked away with a convincing victory.
Wolues now sit tied with Virgin Gorda United at 17 points, trailing only on goal difference.
VG United Denied Full Points by Lion Heart Equalizer
