It has been three weeks into the Premiere League of Belize (PLB) 2019 Opening Season and the current champions of the PLB; San Pedro Pirates have yet to win a match. On Saturday, August 10th San Pedro Pirates hosted Placencia Assassins F.C at the Ambergris Stadium in San Pedro Town for an intense game that ended in a 0-0 draw.
The match began promptly at 7:30PM, and the island team was determined to gain those much needed three points in the chart standings. The Pirates had several attempts to score, but Placencia’s goalkeeper managed to stop them all. The island team maintained control of the ball, but it was not enough to score a goal. The first half came to an end with a 0-0 score.
After the break, Placencia came back aggressive, and the match evened up. Both teams made several attempts to score but to no avail. At minute 70, a penalty kick was given to San Pedro Pirates Anderson Cordova. It was the closest shot they had, but Placencia’s goalkeeper effectively blocked the ball and shut down the fan’s excitement. When the game time came to an end, it was a 0-0 draw.
