The Under 21 game was rescheduled as players from Portmore and Harbour View were away with the National Under 20 team in Haiti.
PREMIER LEAGUE:
Harbour View FC 0 Portmore United 0.
The stalemate marked the first drawn game for the League leaders while it was the fourth for Portmore as the Clubs battled away to a goalless tie at the Prison Oval as the Ferdie Nieta Complex is undergoing repairs.
Well organised defensive units were the order of the day as the game ground to a halt at the halftime with few goal area activities as the crowd waited patiently. Lovel Palmer blasted from distance twice but not troubling Shawn Sawyers in goal as Carlington Clarke shot from 26 yards had Michaud Barrett tipping over the bar.
Rafe Wolfe came closest to scoring when the deflected ball fell kindly on his head but it tipped the crossbar on its way over. Substitute Kevin Deer clean control, turn and kick at the near post soared high so too Lovel Palmer’s header at the back post ended in the side netting. Kavin Bryan continues to impress while giving opposing defenders a lot of work to do, this time causing Sheldon Brown to pick up two cautions and so ejected in the 75th minute following Garth Botha’s exit for un-gentlemanly conduct in receiving a second caution while allegedly abusing the referee, Howard Stennet in minute 49.
Coach Lennie Hyde introduced three attacking substitutions in Hyde Jr., Robert Scarlett and Kemar Petrekin to win the game but that never materialised as the game ended without a victor.
