By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The San Pedro Pirates are back with a vengeance after a one-year hiatus, pounding the Belmopan Bandits 4-0 at San Pedro’s Ambergris Stadium on Sunday, August 11 in the 2024-2025 Premier League of Belize (PLB) Opening Season.

Last week, San Pedro held champions Port Layola to a 0-0 draw at the Marion Jones Sports Complex in Belize City. Getting into gear, they proved too much for the Belmopan Bandits.

Tyrese Augustine opened the scoring in the 35^th minute. Shedrick Swaso increased the lead to 2-0 in the 65^th minute. Ian Pou, Jr., made it 3-0 in the 71^st, while Moisés Hernández hammered in the fourth in the 78^th.

“We held up in the first half down by only one. Then it fell apart in the second half,” the Bandits said in a social media post.

“Good game anyway, youths!!”

The Pirates, now with four points from a win and a draw, moved up to second place, while the Bandits remain in last (6th) place with two losses.

In the only other match of the second PLB weekend, Progresso nipped Verdes 1-0 on Saturday.

The game between Wagiya and Port Layola was postponed as Port had to travel to El Salvador on Sunday for the Central American Cup match against Águila on Wednesday.
