In Game 3, Belize United was leading, 3-1, over Reality Youths, led by Schae Gordon’s brace (3’ & 6’) and a 3rd goal by Keron Grant (20’), with only Marques Martinez (4’) having scored for Reality Youths, when a Belize United player was ejected with a 2nd yellow card, and Belize United was obliged to forfeit for lack of sufficient players to continue the match, thus recording their 2nd loss.
