MARC STAMP, STAR Writer Portmore United senior team coach Linval Dixon indicated that changes could be made to the team following their 1-0 loss to Harbour View in the Flow Champions Cup knockout football competition quarter-final match at Prison Oval, in Spanish Town, yesterday. The Portmore side have struggled against top teams and are yet to win a game or score a goal in three Red Stripe Premier League (RSPL) games. Portmore's only goals scored so far in competitive action this season came in a 5-0 win against KSAFA Super League team Barbican in the Flow Champions Cup second round. Knocked out of the Flow Cup and lying at the bottom of the 12-team RSPL, Dixon and his coaching staff will be looking at other players in the squad in order to start scoring and winning games. Brian Brown netted the winning goal in the 4th minute for the east Kingston-based Harbour View in a dull affair. "It is very disappointing as I am not seeing the true fighting spirit from Portmore. We will have to look deeper in the squad in order to get the team to start winning games," Dixon said. "We need to get back to start scoring goal and winning games. It is really disappointing that we are playing like this," Dixon told STAR Sports. Meanwhile, coach of Harbour View, Andrew 'Bowa' Hines, was happy that his team that is also struggling in the Premier League has advanced to the semi-finals of the Flow Champions Cup. "We are grateful for this victory as Portmore is a creditable team. It wasn't a comfortable victory for us. We will now prepare for the next game in the knockout competition," Hines said. In another game, Waterhouse edged Sporting Central Academy 1-0 at Juici Patties Park field in Clarendon. National striker Jermaine 'Tuffy' Anderson scored the all-important goal in the 44th minute. Waterhouse and Harbour View join Arnett as the teams already through to the semi-finals. In the other semi-final, Tivoli Gardens defeated Montego Bay United 2-1.
