Portmore United secure preseason victory over Academy

Cory Burke signaled Portmore's intent early, capitalizing on a defensive lapse to score in the 7th minute. The opener forced Academy to chase the game, leading to a physical contest that saw Javier Brown cautioned before the interval. Despite the pressure, Portmore maintained a disciplined shape, entering the break with a slender advantage.

Grant Jevaughn doubled the lead shortly after the restart, finding the net in the 50th minute to solidify Portmore's control. As fatigue set in, both managers utilized deep benches, with a flurry of substitutions beginning in the 71st minute. While Academy pushed for a late consolation, Portmore’s defensive unit remained organized, neutralizing counterattacks until the final whistle. The two teams are scheduled to face off again on 15 August at 5pm.
