ST CATHERINE, Jamaica – Debutants Tru-Juice FC handed Portmore United their first loss of the Legend Jamaica Premier League season, holding off the defending champions 2-1 at Ferdie Neita Park on Sunday.

It is a fourth straight win for Tru-Juice as they raced to 20 points atop the JPL table, two more than second-placed Waterhouse FC who will play on Monday evening, with Racing United and Montego bay United tied on 16 points, two more than Mount Pleasant FA who beat Tivoli Gardens 2-1 to open their new facility in St Ann.

Alex Marshall gave Tru-Juice the lead in the 41st minute with his second goal of the season, while Tyrone Mullings scored his league leading eighth goal in the 60th minute to double the lead.

Marques Reid scored for Portmore United in the 68th minute but they were unable to close the gap any further and stayed in eighth place on 10 points.

Montego Bay United came from two goals down to play out a 2-2 draw against 12th place Molynes United at Jarrett Park, extending their winless run to four games. Tyrique Wilson gave Molynes the lead in the fifth minute and Rashawn Livingston added a second in the 10th but Jourdain Fletcher in the 28th minute and Devontae Campbell in the 40th minute cancelled the lead.

Molynes, taking orders for the first time from new coach Anthony Patrick, and who had lost their two previous games, got off to a fast start and were rewarded when Wilson’s free kick from about 22 yards went under the MBU wall and beat goalkeeper Davonnie Burton at his right post.

Livingston doubled the lead when he finished off a good move with a low hard shot from the right side into the far corner of the MBU goal.
Richardo Ramsey, who replaced Javon Gordon after 25 minutes, set up MBU’s first goal when he blocked a pass from a Molynes defender and Fletcher was given a chance to run at the goal and beat goalkeeper Jason Belfon and cut the deficit in the 28th minute.

Campbell brought the home team level when he dribbled from about 40 yards and gave Belfon no chance from close range.

Fletcher should have scored a third for MBU but his volley from inside the 18-yard box was wide of the target.

MBU dominated the game in the second half but just failed to get the winner with Ramsey redirecting a low hard cross over the cross bar from about a yard out late in the game.

Mount Pleasant opened their new facility with a come-from-behind win over Tivoli Gardens who took the lead in the 23rd minute through Mickel Graham.

Warner Brown equalised in the 53rd minute and Nickalia Fuller came off the bench to score the winner in the 70th minute.

Dunbeholden FC scored a late equaliser to get a 1-1 draw against Treasure Beach at the STETHS Sports Complex in Santa Cruz.

Daniel Hardy gave Treasure Beach the lead in the 74th minute but Nevaun Turner scored late, in time added, to give his team a share of the points.

Cavalier FC led Humble Lion 1-0 in their game at Effortville when it was called off with 15 minutes to be played due to heavy rain,
