Goal or no? - Controversy marks close JPL semi-final between Portmore, Mt Pleasant
Cory Burke's controversial strike in the 69th minute of the Jamaica Premier League (JPL) first-leg semi-final tie for Portmore United against Mount Pleasant is still being widely debated, after the goal was awarded then ruled out by referee Okeito Nicholson at the National Stadium on Sunday.
Burke thought he had given underdogs Portmore the lead after skipping a challenge on the left and coasting inside before slamming a shot off the bar and, presumably, over the line.
