In-form striker Oquassa Chong scored in the 74th minute to steer Harbour View to a 1-0 win over Molynes United in their Jamaica Premier League match at the UWI-JFF Captain Horace Burrell Centre earlier today.
It was Chong’s sixth goal of the season and it kept him atop of the table in the race for the golden boot. He is two ahead of both Andrew Vanzie of Humble Lion and Nicholas Nelson of Molynes United, who each have four goals.
More importantly, Chong’s goal provisionally pushed Harbour View back into a playoff spot in fourth position on 12 points from nine games.
Molynes United, which was suffering their fourth defeat from eight games, are no longer in contention for a top-six playoff spot, sitting in 10th on six points. Waterhouse is sixth on 10 points from seven games, the same as Tivoli Gardens and Dunbeholden.
As it stands, Molynes United needs to win both of their remaining games and pray that the afore-mentioned teams all lose their remaining games.
