The Crabs took the lead in the 13th minute courtesy Michael Alexis, with Warren Butler doubling the advantage in the 35th.

After the restart, Connection went further ahead through Irvin Trim in the 54th and Marlon Warner in the 57th, before Sherron Manswell reduced the deficit for WASA in the 59th. Butler recorded his second in the 66th, with veteran midfielder Anthony Dhanoolal netting WASA’s second after 75 minutes to make the score 5-2 in favour of Connection. The Crabs needed the win to keep their hopes for the top prize alive, and they sealed the win with a late double from captain Joseph Peters in the 84th and 90th. A full slate of matches will be on tomorrow.
