It’s all square in the first leg quarterfinal playoff games in the Wray and Nephew Jamaica Premier League, which ended in dramatic draws on Sunday at the National Stadium.

In the first encounter, Racing United came from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 with Portmore United while Cavalier came from 2-0 and earned a 2-2 draw with Waterhouse FC.

Ronaldo Robinson netted twice in the 5th and 9th minutes as Portmore started like a house on fire. Peter McGregor netted Portmore’s third goal in the 53rd minute, as it seems game over.

But Racing United woke up in the second half as goals by Tajay Grant (58th), Nickyle Ellis (79th) and Damorney Hutchinson (86th) rallied for an exciting 3-3 heading into the second leg on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, champions Cavalier FC recovered from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 with Waterhouse FC and set the stage for an epic second leg.

Neron Barrow gave Waterhouse a third-minute lead before Denardo Thomas doubled their advantage in the seventh minute. Daryl Massicot pulled one back for Cavalier in the 36th minute before Kimarly Scott pulled them level in the 64th minute.

The winners of both ties will meet Mount Pleasant and Montego Bay United in the semi-finals.
