Semifinals

[edit]

In the first semifinal match on 30 November 2012, the giant-killers of Stokely Vale were eliminated from the tournament following a 4–1 loss on penalties after a regulation tie 1–1 against North East Stars.[11] The Sangre Grande Boys took the early lead with a goal from Cornell Glen four minutes from half-time and marked his third of the competition in as many games. Stokely Vale fought back in the second half and equalized in the sixtieth minute from Tyrone Manning. The match ended 1–1 after regulation and was decided on penalty kicks. Cleon John saved two penalties in the shootout which allowed North East Stars to cruise in the penalty shootout with successful efforts from Cornell Glen, Elijah Manners, Kerry Baptiste, and Seon Power.[12] Defence Force recorded its third consecutive clean sheet after a 3–0 victory over defending TOYOTA Classic champions W Connection.[13] The Soldiers used a goal from Rodell Elcock in the 30th minute to lead 1–0 at the break. The scoreline lasted well into the second half before Kevon Carter scored fifteen minutes from time to give Defence Force a 2–0 lead late in the match. Jerwyn Balthazar secured the win 3–0 in the 85th minute with a goal from outside the penalty area.[14][15]



Final

[edit]

In the final held on 7 December 2012 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, North East Stars defeated Defence Force 4–2 in a penalty shootout following a 2–2 draw in regulation.[16][17] The win marked the Sangre Grande Boys' first title in the TOYOTA Classic after having finished runners-up in the 2010 final.[18] North East Stars trailed late in the match 1–2 to the Teteron Boys before a late equalizer from Keryn Navarro in second half stoppage time sent the match into penalties. In the penalty shootout, Stars goalkeeper Cleon John saved a pair of penalty kicks from Rodell Elcock and Aklie Edwards and was later named the most valuable player of the tournament. With four goals in the competition, Jerrel Britto of W Connection was named the tournament's top goalscorer.[19]
