TWO GOALS in three minutes from Daniel Shaw (77th) and Ziecko Herrera (80th) gave 10-man August Town a come-from-behind 2-1 triumph over bottom club Naggo Head in their National Premier League clash at Ferdie Neita Park yesterday.
Coach of August Town, Hugh McCarthy, said his team's tactical preparation paid off in the end. "We played below expectations in the first half, however ...we told them not to panic and have more patience in attack and it paid off for the team," McCarthy said after the match.
Bridgeport High School's Manning Cup star, Kenardo Forbes, gave Naggo Head the lead on the stroke of halftime. A few minutes before the goal, the Portmore side had gained a man advantage when Kadina Lecky was sent off for punching Naggo Head's Mark Newsome.
August Town drew level when Daniel Shaw rifled home a shot from an Aphas Bernard through pass in the 77th minute. Herrera scored the winning goal three minutes later, sending the Naggo Head fans into shock.
Wayne Fairclough, coach of Naggo Head, said complacency got the better of his team as it squandered easy chances.
