Tivoli rally to defeat Dunbeholden
March 09, 2026
Tivoli Gardens FC registered a come-from-behind win in the Wray and Nephew sponsored Jamaica Premier League (JPL) action as they downed Dunbeholden 2-1 at Edward Seaga Sports Complex yesterday to boost their chances for a play-off spot.
Alton Lewis kicked off the comeback for the hosts with his equalising strike in the 13th minute, before Joshua Dewar scored the winner in the 22nd.
Clive Wedderburn's opening goal for Dunbeholden in the seventh minute proved to be a consolation effort at full time.
It was the first win in seven games for Tivoli, which climbed to seventh in the league standings on 33 points. They leapfrogged Dunbeholden, who fall to ninth in the standings on 32.
The defeat snapped Dunbeholden's two-game win streak, and continues their inconsistent form, as this is their fifth defeat in their last 10 games.
In other games, defending champions Cavalier picked up their fourth win in a row as they edged Chapelton Maroons 1-0 at Stadium East.
Romarion Thomas scored the all-important goal for Cavalier in the 72nd minute as they moved on 39 points.
Chapelton, on the other hand, fell to 10th as they remain on 32 points.
Portmore United missed out on a prime opportunity to move into the league's top three after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Treasure Beach FC at Ferdi Neita Park.
Portmore looked set to collect all three points when they opened the scoring through youth international Dunsting Cohen at the 22nd minute, only to be pegged back when Afiba Chambers scored the equaliser in the 75th.
The result is another two points dropped for Portmore, who are winless in their last three games, following a defeat to Waterhouse and a draw against Mount Pleasant.
Action in the JPL continues today with Monday Night action. Harbour View will play host Racing United at Harbour View Mini Stadium at 3:30 p.m., before Waterhouse take on league leaders Montego Bay United at Waterhouse Mini Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
