KINGSTON, Jamaica — Molynes United avenged their first-round loss to Humble Lion after winning their second round game 2-1 on Monday at Drewsland Mini Stadium and moved two places up to ninth on the points tables.

The result spoiled Alex Thomas’ debut as the Humble Lion coach as the Clarendon-based club stayed rock bottom in the tables on 14 points.

An 88th-minute goal from Rushawn Livingston broke the tie as Molynes United ended a three-game run without a win.

An own goal in the 34th minute from a defender turning the ball past his goalkeeper from a corner gave Molynes United the lead but Humble Lion got back on level terms in the 78th minute when substitute Dr James Thomas scored from a right-sided cross.

Back-to-back finalists Mt Pleasant FA, who set a Jamaica Premier League record 11th straight win on Sunday after they edged Tivoli Gardens, lead the tables with 49 points, followed by Montego Bay United- 41, Arnett Gardens- 39 points, Portmore United- 34 points and defending champions Cavalier and Waterhouse tied on 33 points in the play-off positions.
