Portmore United take lead after 3-1 win over Violette SC in Concacaf semis

Javier Brown scored a double as Jamaican champions Portmore United rallied from a goal down to secure a commanding 3-1 victory over Haiti’s Violette SC in the first leg of their Concacaf Caribbean Cup semi-final in Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday.

Portmore will carry a two-goal advantage into next Tuesday’s return leg in Kingston, putting themselves in a strong position to advance to the final.

The defeat was Violette’s first of the competition after they won all four of their group-stage matches, becoming the first Haitian club to top their group.
