By Rubén Morales Iglesias: In a thrilling Sunday battle at the Marion Jones Sports Complex in Belize City, Port Layola edged Belmopan FC 3–2 to grab second place in the Premier League of Belize 2025–2026 Opening Championship. The win pushes Port to 21 points, seven clear of fourth-place Belmopan and one ahead of Progresso.
Fernando Aguirres gave the hosts an early lead in the 3rd minute, and Gilroy ‘Bredda’ Thurton doubled the advantage in the 52nd. Belmopan responded with goals from Adrian Graffin (62’) and Ian Gaynair (69’) to level the match, but Ernesto Caicedo’s 76th-minute strike proved decisive.
With the victory, Port Layola secured their playoff qualification alongside Verdes and Progresso. Belmopan remain fourth with 14 points, but their playoff spot is under threat heading into the final week. Napoles trail by just one point, and Wagiya—currently on 11 points—can still leapfrog both if they win their pending midweek clash against Belmopan.
