In the latest showdown of the KFC Elite League, defending champions Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and the formidable challengers Slingerz FC faced off, resulting in a draw.
Despite both teams entering the match unbeaten in their previous eight outings, neither side could secure a victory, and the game ended in a goalless draw.
With their superior goal difference, GDF maintains their position as the top side in the league, boasting eight wins and one draw in nine matches.
Similarly, Slingerz FC retains their spot in second place, also with eight wins and one draw.
However, Slingerz FC will likely view the draw as a victory, considering their promotion to the league ahead of Season 6.
Both teams will have another opportunity to determine a clear winner when they face off again in Round 2 of the league.
