The recent Jamaica Premier League (JPL) match between Arnett Gardens FC and Portmore United at Stadium East ended with a 1-1 draw. According to Paul Davis, the Arnett Gardens’ head coach, his team wasted three points they could have secured during the game.

Davis believes that his team could have secured victory had they utilized all the opportunities they had during the game. He further stated that his players were not disciplined during the match.
Arnett Gardens dominated the game before the break but failed to convert some possible goals due to poor finishing from Ajuma Johnson, Kimani Arbouine and Marlon Allen. Johnson had the best chance but ended up firing wide of the target 10 yards away.
Arnett finally secured their first goal merely nine minutes after the break when Deacon got close to Portmore’s post and managed to get past goalkeeper Benjamin Williams.
