Montego Bay United maintained their lead atop of the Way and Nephew Jamaica Premier League following their 2-1 win over Chapelton Maroons Turners Field in Clarendon.
Goals by Okeeno Jones 30th and Dwight Merrick completed the comeback when he scored the winning goal in the 52nd minute, pushing Montego Bay United to 16 points, four clear at the top after seven games.
Andrew Vnzie had opened the scoring for Chapelton in the fifth minute from the penalty spot, but that was not enough to end their four-game winless streak, which saw them slip a spot to fifth with 10 points.
Dethroned Caribbean champion Cavalier moved into fourth spot with a 2-0 win over the embattled Tivoli Gardens at the Edward Seaga Sports Complex in downtown Kingston.
Christopher Ainsworth struck in the 76th minute before Jamilhio Rigters sealed victory in the 90+6 minute as Cavalier moved to 10 points, just days after being dumped out of the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup.
Tivoli Gardens, which forced the resignation of president Ann-Marie Heron, are sitting in ninth spot on six points.
At the Ferde Neita Park, home team Portmore United and Racing United battled to a 0-0 draw in the Portmore derby. It was a valuable point for each, which kept Racing in second spot on 12 points, the same as Portmore United in third spot.
