BELIZE CITY, Thurs. Oct. 6, 2022
Official sources in the Premier League of Belize (PLB) informed us yesterday that the Week #11 game formerly scheduled for this coming Sunday at 4:00 p.m. at the Norman Broaster Stadium between Verdes FC and Altitude FC, will now be played at the FFB Stadium instead, kickoff time 3:45 p.m.
It’s an interesting move from Verdes FC, whose home game it is, and who just last weekend suffered their first defeat in a couple years, a 2-0 loss to Benque Viejo FC at the Marshalleck Stadium. Benque will be at home again this weekend, featuring their new “bad gun in town,” Colombian striker Ayrton Sisa, who has scored 4 goals in their last two games. They will host the promising young Progresso FC from Orange Walk. Meanwhile, Verdes FC will be challenging new standings leader Altitude FC in what promises to be a monster match-up. Could the Verdes management be considering the potential loss of fan turnout at the Norman Broaster due to the nearby Benque match, versus a possible increase in fans from Mango Creek with the much closer FFB Stadium?
All other games remain as previously scheduled.
In a quick re-cap of last weekend’s Week #10 results, home team mentioned first: San Pedro Pirates FC, 3-2, over Port Layola FC. Pirates – Andir Chi (23’), Horace Avila (45’) and Luis Valdez (66’); Port Layola – Pirates own goal (24’) and Calvin Young (85’). Benque Viejo FC, 2-0, over Verdes FC. Benque – Juan Ocampo (26’) and Ayrton Sisa (90+2’). Altitude FC, 1-0, over Bandits SC. Altitude – Delone Torres (90’). Wagiya SC, 1-0, over Progresso FC. Wagiya – Cion Augustine (64’).
