Jose de Sousa is through to his maiden TV Quarter-Final after seeing off Dave Chisnall in a thrilling tie to finish the first night of Last 16 action at the Grand Slam of Darts.
De Sousa led 8-2 but had to withstand a fightback against Chisnall as he couldn't finalise the tie initially but he came through 10-7 in a thrilling end.
At the first interval, De Sousa was leading but only just at 3-2 up as Chisnall missed three darts at doubles and the former took out a third consecutive leg after being 2-0 down. It became five consecutive legs as he broke again to make it 5-2.
De Sousa continued to head towards the finishing line as he went 7-2 up with a 12-darter for a seventh straight leg and he made it 8-2 but while Chisnall went to pieces before that, it was 'The Special One's time to capitulate.
He missed more and more crucial doubles and Chisnall broke to make it 8-4 and 8-6 and suddenly there was a different complexion. It was soon five in a row for the St Helens ace as he made it 8-7.
But he missed double 18 to level up and pivotally De Sousa took out 61 to go 9-7 up and finished proceedings off from there.

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
