By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Port Layola continued in their winning streak recording their third consecutive win dropping subchampions Verdes 2-1 at their own home grounds at the Norman Broaster Stadium in San Ignacio.

Despite having a new coach, Argentine Martín ‘Tincho’ Andrade, Verdes are still not up to the level they’ve had over the last two seasons conceding their first defeat after a draw and a win.

Gilroy ‘Bredda’ Thurton converted the opener to put Port ahead 2-1 and Michael Palacio gave them the 2-1 win with his fourth goal of the season.

Again, Mexican defender Marco Antonio Zavala scored for Verdes for a second consecutive week. His goal came in the 55^th minute.

The win keeps Port tied with San Pedro at nine points, but they conceded the top spot as the islanders blew out Bandits 6-0 and now have a better goal difference. Whichever way, the three-wins-in-a-row start is an extremely good one for the Belize City side.
