During the match, Bethel drew the first blood through Yhunzenlo in the first 2 minute courtesy a sloppy defence. St Peter team coach immediately changed two of his players within 10 minute time.
But that didn't keep them for long as Bethel breached the defensive line again and piled up the misery for St. Peter School when Thingbading Wangbe scored in the extra time to make it 2-0 in the first half.
After the lemon break, Fredick scored another goal in the 48th minute for St. Peter, and five minutes later, Thingbading Wangbe doubled his tally. A consolation goal was scored by Keyiewangbe in the 67th minute.
Bethel team should have scored more goals in the second half but wasted most of their opportunities and the match ended 4-1 at the end of the match.
St. Peter keeper Ayeto was kept busy in the entire match but his heroic saves couldn't help the team as they suffered a humiliating defeat.
With the win, Bethel HSS will be playing against Charity School in the second round on July 1. The second match of the day saw TM Government HSS defeat Khedi Baptist HSS 4-3 via a tie-breaker after the match ended in 0-0 draw.
Both TM Government HSS and Khedi Baptist HSS saw a scoreless draw as they failed to find the net as the teams were unable to seize the opportunity that came their way in the stipulated time.
Up next, TMG HSS will be facing Stella HSS in the second round on July 1.
