ST JAMES, Jamaica – Many-time champions Cornwall College overturned a first round loss to beat Vere Technical 5-3 on penalty kicks after they were tied 3-3 at regulation in their second round return leg ISSA daCosta Cup football game played at Cornwall College on Wednesday, and advanced to the round of 16.

Just a week after they were handed a second chance when Maldon High failed in their bid for a first ever qualification, Cornwall College won their return leg match 2-1 on Wednesday, forcing the shoot out.

Thirteen-year-old Cornwall College goalkeeper, Carlyle Tinglin, set the tone in the shootout when he saved the first attempt from Vere Technical.

Braxton Richards had scored in the 71st and 77th minutes to give Cornwall College the edge but Rajaun Bisasor pulled one back for Vere Technical in time added on as the teams ended 3-3 after 180 minutes.

Cornwall College, who had missed their first two penalties in the season, in games they lost 2-1, were perfect from the spot.
