 Easter Monday football here at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex Harbour View versus Montagueba United and we are expecting a great match between both teams who have different objectives certainly but three points certainly the prize that they go for a draw won't do it for Montagueba United they need every point they can garner to keep their playoff hopes alive as the FIFA banner is before the officials getting ready to walk out Dean Smith in commentary Chris Taylor the analyst and we guide you through the proceedings as the players walk out behind the officials. The Santas have a lot to say Chris Taylor he recognizes in a very pragmatic way that at all costs they must win in your expectation what are some of the keys for them to win today. I think continuing with the positive style of football that they played over the last few weeks Montagueba United they have been quite aggressive they have been a lot more organized I think now they know their roles early in the season under the Santas they I think there's a bit of uncertainty as to the as to the chemistry and how things how things would have gone they were they were trying to find build partnerships and that chemistry but I think now it's here it's more or less a consistent start in line up for them and as I said the important players the important pieces on his chess board are finding form at the right time a nice blend of also experience and youth I think that plays a part in building a promising future so I really like Montagueba's chances and how they've played over the last couple months are really positive and well what I was finding good form as well but I think this one will come right down to the wire between these two teams. Don Claudia Ferreira offering up prayers of course it's that blue season of course the east the season Tyrone Robinson the referee Damian Williams Ricardo McKenzie the assistant and the fourth official Stefan Dua was on duty yesterday as well Stefan Dua as the fourth official Rowan Gordon the captain there from Montagueba United Orderland Harding for half of you here's a started lineup for half of you perhaps a lineup that will become very accustomed to Kristyla Glenn January Samuel the Trinidadian in Gold Orderland Harding Romain Brackenbridge Garth Stewart and the keyboard Jones the back four to see him free slid Emma Rosen just on Anglain in the middle of the park and run Brownomar Thompson and Andre Fagan up top their coach by Lodlo Bernard yeah four three three is what they're playing they've been big problems between the sticks Glenn Roy Samuel comes back into the lineup at the expense of Romario Palma who as I said it's been a real struggle between the sticks for them lots of mistakes for the goalkeepers and it's I've been a headache for for Lodlo Bernard here's Montagueba United William Pereira in Golden Brazilian Josiah Trimmingham Luca Lima Korea Bernal de Wellington Johan Weverly Rodin Fletcher Houdain Nish Devarro Mackenzie Owen Gordon Brian Brown and John Claudio Ferreira their head coaches neither the Santas yeah four three three as well the Brazilians have done so well this season really coming to age in in in the league especially Korea and Ferreira and company but yeah lots of experience with Gordon and Brian Brown leading the line somewhat 80 goals between them in terms of Premier League in terms of their Premier League career so lots of experience in terms of a know-how and then you have for example Weatherly which will add who will add a lot of pace to that attack as well so dangerous unit here Moby creativity obviously will come mainly from their number 10 in Juan Claudio Ferreira but as I said in recent weeks they have certainly shared the goals amongst them which is another good sign not heavily reliant on one player the reverse fixture was a tall tie that was on the final day of the year 2023 and I'm sure Montagueba United won't want a share of points here they can't if they are to progress to the playoffs ambitious attempt there from Harbourview keeping William Ferreira alive and alert couple Montagueba players as well would have worn the shirt of Harbourview at some stage of course Brian Brown who's their leading goalscorer joint leading goalscorer so far this season with five actually won the golden boot in the shirt of Harbourview that season managed 19 goals and yeah here as well Wellington also played for Harbourview so to Weatherly so know about the Harbourview club very well Rose played out well that occasion it's a throwing for Harbourview here's the head coach of Harbourview Lodlo Bernard beside him is assistant Sean Fraser here's Montagueba United trying to play up from the back with Wellington well already a big deal here for Harbourview well you just wonder if the headache is continuing yet again Glenroy Samuel not sure what he was thinking picks up the yellow card handling the ball outside of the area and yeah over the last couple of months it's been crazy what has been going on with the with the Harbourview goalkeepers clearly outside of the year what was he thinking Glenroy Samuel and he would have known being on the edge of his year that once he would have extended his arms like that he'd have to have made contact outside and you know maybe in his view he was afraid that it would have been a goal had he not done that it's been a tough time in between the sticks for Harbourview and the replacements haven't really impressed either it's a dangerous position to have a kick away in Gordon so I'm sorry for where they as well court will take it on to the goal it's an early goal again Montagueba United putting Harbourview under all sorts of problems early and yes it was self-inflicted Chris Taylor and that man again the Achilles heel of Harbourview well not only is it that man again it's that position again all keepers at Lodlo Bernard have used this season of cause problems excellent free kick from away in Gordon beautiful into the far corner Samuel was there but couldn't get close starting outside of the target and bending in that's a beautiful free kick from away in Gordon lovely and yet another goal on the season for year number 27 fourth of the season for Gordon 50th in his Premier League career are we in Gordon another player who has lifted a goal in boot in the in the season that will be united last one the Premier League 2015-16 won the golden boot are we in Gordon and yeah that was lovely but again as you said an early goal just what he wanted just what they were trying to prevent Harbourview and perhaps better days aren't coming after all for Harbourview Smallmouth has stumped now that you'll concede a goal in the first 10 minutes of play you're so unkind Chris Taylor Knight of the Santas very pragmatic in his interview and I'm sure he has an inner smile seeing them go ahead in just the fourth minute of the encounter amazingly Lodlo Bernard continues to mention that Harbourview despite the poor performances that they've been able to put on show the players have really been committed in training and still not kind of seen that the the results of that in their on-field performances but at least that positive can go into another year but you've seen players for Harbourview so far this season rise to the occasion play when Joshua Nanglid demorrows to another extent the captain has led well at times there was before his move Shaquille Bradford was big amounts of gold in fact he's had more success at Harbourview this season than at Mount Pleasant only two goals in the shirt of Mount Pleasant eight for Harbourview and going well so you have had players but to concede goals like that as you said from goalkeeping errors it's tough it's deflating from an Harbourview perspective yeah must be a tough bill to swallow here's whether they're trying to build for Montagueby United sends it the intercepted well and to be fair to Samuel it's been sheared amongst the three it's been Romario Palma David Martin as well as himself Glenroy Samuel who started the season beautifully Samuel in fact there are lots of big talk about him that you know coming to the club from Trinidad and Tobago in fact that he's had a national cap under his name and he started the season really well positive and then all of a sudden something just went wrong a few errors chipping in then lost his place and his replacements have had some serious bloopers as well it's a position that many individuals believe you have to really be settled in and just one bad result can throw off how you you function and you really have to have a mental grit about you to shake off a bad result and deliver at the highest level in subsequent gains but that hasn't been the experience for him at all and the substitutes who have come on to replace him they themselves have had horrendous times David Martin Palma they've all struggled as you mentioned okima jones has a skik for Harbourview perhaps an april's full job wellington more play forward garth sturt will be able to handle that one here's charl claude ferrera got the shot off what was intercepted offside flag went up here's jones for harbourview back till the play to watch garth sturt priestly now for my national only 20 players can see him priestly did well especially the junior kingston college korea to wellington wellington they initially with that poor clearance is the throwing for harbourview once more fagan nothing there for him yeah but that should have been a free kick to harbourview that's a clear hand ball i think it was a day niche right there boxing the ball away from andre fagan and to be honest tyrone robinson was facing it that went by and here they come weatherly shot from distance jordy and fletcher there cannot give fletcher that kind of room from that kind of range on his left foot he will certainly hurt you and maybe lucky our harbourview that that wasn't on target because the pace behind that would have had somewhere in a lot of trouble i reckon that the win perhaps worked in harbourview's favor because it's a it's a win going away from the goal so it would have veered the ball to the mercy of glenroy samwell harding the captain trying to break for harbourview second corner kick for harbourview in the encounter now glenroy the delivery still alive in the area korea manages to head it out cord with a big clearance boots it forward rose set it forward for fagan oh yeah that was a good attempt thompson now poor finish in the end from thompson but absolutely poor that was a lovely ball over the top was it okima jones with the delivery was there are rules actually yeah yeah really has that creativity about him rose and look at this what vision that is perfect waiting oh fagan he's got to do better to me fear to fagan he did it the target yeah a good save in the end you would say from the brazilian fear to fagan yeah he did he kept his eye on it did the most he could but yeah the follow-up shot from thompson left a lot to be desired offside on that occasion here's ron brown trying to navigate on the right hand side of the attack for harbourview still has the ball has an option goes the way of anglin chips it forward now jones back in there that was a poor pass though needed a bit more weight on the pass he is away in god now going the other way for one to give a united sent wider to weatherly played forward for gordon sends it across still alive from wanting to be united with gordon weatherly in the area can shoot got the shot off but it was deflected still alive though can he sparkle here looks to be brine brown couldn't get it on target on that occasion yeah veterans striker yeah fletcher was asking but the bro the touch before that from brown was poor the nice ball played into brawn i just thought he would have let fly one touch the control and then they hit the touch took him away from goal and then the chance was wasted but even on that occasion turning on to his left foot did have fletcher waiting and even ferreira as well how he waited that pass perfectly ferreira could have just moved on to it without taking a touch and finish so again we've seen so many times this season not with montego be alone where teams have had the one goal advantage and numerous chances which they have not capitalized on it has come back to hurt them trust and to know though they've really been able to open up the harbour view defense on quite a few occasions has montego be united so far and here they come again here's demar rose for harbour view anglin turns away from niche still anglin in the middle of the park gets it in the way of fagan but took a deflection out corner kick for harbour view they've had all the corners so far harbour view still alive montego be united able to clear fletcher loses possession here's jones indecisive in passing gets the shot off and william ferreira alert again hardly do you ever see a shot from a king of jones perhaps he heard my most recent critique of him yeah player don't enjoy the inflation getting a bit of a hit before that thought there should have been a foul referee tyron robinson said no i don't think there was much in it but they get a bit of a bone fletcher iron robinson delaying there this was a moment just before the odine where it was obvious to me that robinson should have blown just look at this work here fagan controlling the ball look at that from a day niche clearly that he's he's clearly outside of the area but that's such an obvious handball and if you were to pull it back a little bit you would see that robinson was in an excellent position the referee to see that face in the play as well that has got to be a free kick and to be honest from that play montego be actually broke nearly scored had an opportunity at the opposite end and how controversial that would have been but i dare say that probably could have been a freak again even a booking to niche which as the game goes on could be a big deal considering the position that he's playing as well is another look at it look at where tyron robinson is facing it well they hand front on he's got to be making a quite what's so obvious fagan appeals but obviously the play continued but it was very obvious that niche boxed the ball away from fagan's control some things will go missed will be will be missed that was one of them no will intend to their tomorrow's clip in the foot of lucas career montego be intercepted well by jones plays it forward can figure and get on the end of it no he can't garden still garden jones tracking back he gains possession well away in garden to fletcher fletcher with skill gets it across still alive well half of you able to play it out now run brown unable to get on the end of it or the niche here's anglin here's anglin gets it to rose hardy back to anglin passing not as crisp as i'm sure a lot of renaud would have wanted and yeah but to give montego be a credit uh recovering well the midfielder and the flank forwards as well if you notice yet whether they're talking in getting involved ferreiro adding pressure to the midfield of harbour view and forcing mistakes that's something that the harbour view may feel not doing as well in terms of recovering so hence montego be finding a lot more space in the defensive third of harbour view just look at the commitment at times i mean yes brand brown obviously holding the line but the rest of the montego be a unit committed to ball retention getting back putting in the yards putting in the tackles closing the spaces i mean obviously brown is the point man at least at this moment obviously there might be some rotation as the game goes on but brown will hold his position there but everyone else getting involved to close the lines that's important and as you said earlier that harbour view montego be have exposed them quite a bit but again it's been left a lot of times to adjust the back line what about the midfielders as well yeah rose not necessarily known for his defensive capability sometimes angling not as committed to that yeah especially at the state of the season now it's very advanced as we see him here so what that does mean it leaves it to priestly alone angling that was a good attempt there from umar tomsen a good snapshot maybe as you sure needed a centers won't be happy that a lateral ball like that could have fallen as we all the way across his 18 yard here inside of it and tomsen still able to get away a shot one time cut that into the air too much space that to give angling and tomsen was being close but not quick enough had that been on target they would have been in trouble defending never an easy part of football not that not an area that persons generally like to do but it's something that you have to be committed and you have the awareness the concentration has to be up right throughout brown trying to find authority for rara well read by angling and played out of touch a lot of times if you even look at the coaching ground a lot of it sometimes is about attacking set pieces and so on and not many rewards are given for defending so it's something that you always have to be aware of as a coach to reward defenders for doing a good job because it's not one of those glorious things of football not the glamour no first corner kick for montague again i was your patient in buildup priestly steward angling pushing forward bragg and rich trying to chip it forward could take that run brown still there gets the shut off another look at that attempt from run brown did well to control that ball from i mean bragg and rich i believe it was turned well in the post then able to get the shot off goalkeeper still being treated for montague be united william purer his free kick in the fourth minute the all-important goal at the moment for montague be united win gordon here's another look at the sequence of play can resamble out of the area brand brothers applying the pressure and oh my how did oh in gordon deliver yeah picture perfect really whistle on the play there's john claudie ferreira fouled jessiah trimming ham sends it forward well in turn doing well to turn here here is niche good header from weatherly fletcher can be dangerous fletcher korea to weatherly good turn gets it across almost as it was played out by the harm of your defense there goes across the deal with the corners taken shot here's ferreira glancing header glorious opportunity that had to be cleared with great alertness from jessiah anglin lucas korea was in glory land it's still alive for montague be head on to goal from trimming ham glennaro samwell won't make mistakes like that again you hope well this time he was well inside his box and no worry for him there anyway he could have blundered there was to carry that into the goal with him yeah montague be a few half chances and really they look the more threatening of the two when going forward for sure and this is a fixture that montague be have struggled in recent time if you think about it their last win against harbour view came back in october 2018 montague be united a two one win in fact that year they did the double over harbour view in 2018 a two one win was the last though in october since then it's been all harbour view when you look at the overall head to head to head it doesn't really tell the full story it actually looks pretty even will be of one six harbour view of one six and there have been eight draws but in recent time it's been difficult runs from montague be so i'm sure that's something that little bernard will have in the back of his head and something that will bring confidence to harbour view in fact in that match in 2018 oden nish was a man who scored the double in the two one win at that time playing more of an as an attacker his nickname is pogba by the way but in nish played more in the forward side of things attacking midfield forward no playing as a center back but yeah there is nish more for the look than the style of play the nickname pogba but did play as a center forward here's wellington gets it across can't get the header on brian brown done for pace dear brown good overlapping run by wellington it was but i just thought the cross had a little bit too much on it to actually force brand brown's head backwards and so he wasn't able to control it by again too much space and even brown even though he didn't get the head of right he had a lot of space around him not sure where to defend or the coverage is there for harbour view never so often you see the slow build up from the back from harbour view not the lateral passes not really opening up the montague be united pressure in in a great extent or any of the any of the team that they've played not sure why that has really been there more on his upper and i here's montague be united once more here they come again whether they stripped of the ball on that occasion here they come here's fletcher fletcher rattling the advertising board doesn't score many with the right boots giordi and fletcher let fly on that occasion but again the pass from brown into fletcher was way too easy the coverage there tomorrow's not tracking well casine priestly caught blindsided and again it was an easy avenue into the 18 yard here from montague be always a problem when you also view the stage of the season harbour view no chance of going forward no chance of being relegated defending not the kind of thing you enjoy doing now the half chance that for andre fagan has had his few opportunities in this game snap head on that occasion before the snap volley from the left foot maybe they don't enjoy scoring either because that was a wonderful opportunity for fagan rohan brown couldn't have played that pass any better fagan had time space and a comfortable height you would say but still got it wrong didn't even hit the target and that's been an era since the exit of shakil brad for that they have struggled a potent center forward harbour view that's an era that they'll have to look to adjust in the off season i think they'll have to go to the window and look to do some business andre fagan very useful player no 36 years of age though he can't be the man that you're depending on for all your goals it's just not going to happen especially at the stage of his career i think he would play very well andre fagan as a secondary forward goalkeeper wants more down crime treatment of the brunad though chris has conceded as much concerning andre fagan that you know the individuals that he plays around have not really stepped up and delivered at the level that he would have expected this season he recognizes that andre fagan doesn't have the legs to to the kind of running and the darts that you need from a center forward just to get in behind the defense and get space looking to use him more as i said andre fagan i think coming back to the jamaican premier league looking to give back to harbour view probably more in terms of helping the young center forwards to find their way so as i said more playing as a secondary almost like a mentor to some of the young players andre fagan is playing majority of his senior career in vietnam and played what has had over 150 appearances in vietnam scoring lots of goals and when you look at he hasn't spent a lot of time in the in jamaican premier league so yeah coming back here at 36 years of age you can't be looking to him as your as your main man and i thought with the partnership with when he was playing alongside bradford that was a good kind of setup for harbour view bradford eager to make strides internationally and other way scoring a lot of goals and fagan could play as almost like the support forward or even off of the bench but now with bradford out and nobody else really coming in it's been left to him alone and and and harbour view have struggled to score consistently career takes it short to fletcher gets it back career there's you the examples again here's a chance here's oh my he was too quick there for his own good jordan fletcher get it all the way out of touch well it's actually a corner it was blocked on the line fletcher just look at this here but this is too easy rows and priestly have to be covering better than that fletcher lovely skill here to round the goalkeeper look at it here kicks it and then it's yeah stewart was back to throw it out scoffed the finish though did fletcher but i think even if he had connected well stewart would have blocked it lovely skill though similar kind of move you'd have aligned with a another left foot off yesterday year maybe in a blue and white shirt no longer with us here's thompson rows unable to get the pass off turn cloddy ferrer on the pressure now run brown did well able to clear eventually ferrera it's now with akima johnso harbour view his delivery headed out of touch it's the corner kick for harbour view johnso the corner kick header on goal was easily held by ferrera run brown thompson back to brown fletcher god stewart able to play out now kenzie in possession now for mobay united here's a call score gordon to wellington too much being shown there on that occasion to akima johnso he played out for a corner kick or was it a throw it was here's gordon still gordon still gordon can he get the shot off no he can't still gordon though weatherly doing lots of good work weatherly this link of play has been good he's again it's mckenzie unable to find a player in red on that occasion harbour view looking in all sorts of problems there's an eerie feeling of unease in their defense weatherly got the shot off courier to gordon god was trying to find fletcher god stewart intercepted played it forward wellington couldn't keep that one alive download the sportsmax app today get in the google player the app lab store and see all the action of course the final day of gripta 2024 on the sportsmax app and so much more in football and track and field and the big one the olympic games coming up in the summer it's all available on the sportsmax app all played forward trimming ham doing well there still alive for harbour view here's the header on over the top hardening with the delivery on that occasion ron brownie unable to get it on target off camera drawn in fletcher requiring medical treatment had a shot of the tivoli assistant coach olanda clark of course montague united will play tivoli in the final regular season game he's scouting his next opposition olanda clark look at this christiel it's another free kick you know in gordon territory yeah almost on the same blade he took the previous one i wonder how glen rise sam will react to this when he go far post again it was a beauty the first one oen gordon nothing the world could have done about it in fact glen rise sam was actually towards his far post obviously because he was expecting a wall to do his job and still couldn't save it when gordon wants more into the wall alert and gets the rebound but plays it into the path of ron brown who gave it away in the first of six minutes added on to the first half christiel i bet you would never guess what was my sermon topic yesterday no clue victory not in time you need to have a listen i'll send you the video well they certainly can't execute the victory just yet even if they were to find a goal here look at that change though jordan fletcher off that's unfortunate for him and montego bay daniel read is on jordan fletcher limping on the sidelines i just wonder if it was that knock earlier near in the start of the game we're not sure who it was that ran into the back of him caused a problem i think hit him on his knee and if he hasn't probably if he hasn't fully recovered from that fletcher that's unfortunate and will be certainly wouldn't want to lose him especially with the playoffs looming brown he did well to turn and fire first time ferreira though was equal to the task yeah problem with the knee confirmed for jordan fletcher came with jones there show him some rough treatment in that passage of play much thought of the replacement though number 31 daniel read 25 years of age no actually started his career at sandy park fc daniel read sandy bay i should say actually not sandy park sandy park is in kingston but yeah sandy bay before moving to reno and then cavalier been around a bit still looking for his first goal at this level though entertaining player spent three seasons at at cavalier before making the move to montego bay united daniel read here's harm of you rose jones so corner kick for harm of you referee has seen enough of the first half not sure the full six minutes were played of six minutes indicated by the fourth official for added time but the all-important goal in this half converted in the fourth minute by oen gordon jenroy samwell getting the yellow card for handling the ball outside of the area and my my how did i win gordon respond with a kick of beauty currently into the far corner and montego be united getting what they need at the moment a 1l cushion going into the second half and as it stands three points that will bring them level on points with waterhouse as they continue to vibe for a playoff spot in the reinevere jamaica premier league half of you they've been out of sorts montego be united have been all over them want to let the half we return with more
