  Match Report »

  • A goal scored by substitute Ibrahim Tarik earned Lija their second consecutive win, with Birżebbuġa still without a point at the bottom of the standings.

  • Lija assumed the initiative during the first half and were close early on through Chris Pace. The seasiders replied with a Ronnie Celeste shot, and at the other end Lija were unlucky when a Martin Borg drive was turned onto the post by goalkeeper Paul Celeste.

  • Celeste did well to stop an Andrč Scicluna effort, and on 35 minutes an attempt by Daniel Cremona was headed off the line by Birżebbuġa defender Bernard Farrugia.

  • In the early stages of the second period, Birżebbuġa created goal-scoring opportunities through Celeste and Jason Cassar but it was Lija who broke the deadlock 16 minutes from time when Ibrahim Tarik hit home from an inviting Martin Borg pass.
