One Love United Dominates Fa Cup Opener
One Love United kicked off their BVIFA President FA Cup campaign with a commanding 5-1 victory over Old Madrid FC at Greenland Arena. Shyana Prince led the offensive charge by netting a hat trick during the clash. The win sets a strong tone for the Tortola-based squad as the prestigious tournament gets underway.
One Love United launched their British Virgin Islands Football Association (BVIFA) President FA Cup campaign in emphatic fashion on Sunday, securing a decisive 5-1 victory over fellow Tortola outfit Old Madrid FC. The match, contested at the Greenland Arena in East End, Tortola, showcased high-energy domestic football action as both sides aimed to make an early statement in the prestigious annual competition.
The offensive charge was spearheaded by Shyana Prince, who delivered an outstanding individual performance for One Love United by netting three goals to secure a memorable hat trick. Prince proved to be a constant menace to Old Madrid’s defensive line throughout the contest, finding open space in the final third and capitalizing on clinical finishing opportunities.
Teammates Nicardo Dixon and Cejay “Junior” Anderson each contributed a goal of their own, rounding out a commanding five-goal tally that left little room for an Old Madrid comeback. Despite spirited efforts from Old Madrid FC to establish their rhythm, they struggled to contain the rapid counterattacks and sharp passing sequences executed by One Love United.
Old Madrid managed to get on the scoresheet, but the deficit proved too large to overcome against a disciplined and well-organized opponent. The BVIFA President FA Cup remains one of the most anticipated fixtures on the Territory's domestic sporting calendar. The tournament brings together top local clubs from across Tortola and the wider British Virgin Islands, providing players with an opportunity to showcase their tactical discipline and technical skills in front of passionate local supporters and national team scouts.
With this opening round triumph, One Love United have firmly positioned themselves as serious contenders moving deeper into the tournament bracket. The squad will aim to maintain their sharp attacking form as subsequent rounds approach, while Old Madrid FC will look to regroup, make necessary defensive adjustments, and bounce back in their upcoming domestic fixtures.
