ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — Portmore United edged Humble Lion 1-0 at Effortville Community Centre on Sunday to maintain the lead in the points tables of the Jamaica Premier League.

Rashaun Small’s 60th minute goal was all Portmore needed to win back-to-back games and extend their unbeaten run to seven games as they improved to 19 points from nine matches played.

Montego Bay United came from a goal down to beat Dunbeholden United 2-1 at the Montego Bay Sports Complex, ending the St Catherine-based club’s three-game winning run.

The win was the first for MBU in three games, after back-to-back draws and saw them stay in second place on 17 points from six games.

Dunbeholden, who came into the game on the back of a good run that saw them score six of their then seven goals, took the lead in the 14th minute when Rojay Smith fired home from close range.

After missing a handful of good scoring chances, in part to an outstanding display by Dunbeholden’s goalkeeper Romaine Hamilton, MBU managed to draw level when Owayne Gordon scored from the penalty, four minutes into stoppage time in the first half.

Central defender Josiah Trimmingham scored the winner when he headed home a corner kick at the far left post in the 53rd minute.

Mt Pleasant FA were also winners on Sunday, beating Harbour View 3-1 at Drax Hall to rebound from their loss to Dunbeholden last week.

Kimoni Bailey got Mt Pleasant off to a fast start when he scored in the first minute but they had to wait until early in the second half for the second goal, scored by Daniel Green before Nicholas Nelson scored a third goal in the 55th minute.

Oquassa Chong came off the bench to score a consolation goal for Harbour View in time added at the end of the second half.
