Final Score yesterday: Altitude FC 2 Pirates FC 2
Controversial game between San Pedro Pirates and Altitude FC ends in 2-2 drawUnder rain and muddy conditions, the San Pedro Pirates faced Altitude FC on Saturday, March 7th, at the Michael Ashcroft Stadium in Independence Village, in southern Belize. The game was a tough battle for the win, but at the sound of the long whistle, the football action ended in a 2-2 draw.
At the end of the game, San Pedro Pirates ended with four of its players (Dixon Paguada, Asrel Sutherland, Jesse Smith, and Jorge Nu�ez) expelled via red cards. The management of the team found these callings questionable, along with the officiating of the game. They claim that Altitude's second goal was illegal as the player was offside, something the referee apparently missed. The San Pedro Pirates feel that they were treated unfairly and have since written to the National Football Federation. They wait to see if their complaints will be taken into consideration.
