Our Lions need to find their luck again sooner rather than later. The Lions produced a good performance but it was not enough to avoid a defeat against Ghajnsielem. Our Lions started the match more aggressive but did not create much in front of goal. Midway half time, incredibly, the referee denied our Lions a clear penalty. Few moments later Ghajnsielem scored the only goal of the match. In the second half our Lions were again more offensive and we have to say that our strikers should have done better in certain occasions in front of goal. By this defeat our Lions were leapfrogged by the same Blacks and are now forth placed on the table. The Lions came out more aggressive than their opponents and produced some danger through fine moves by Fernando de Andrade. In the 12th minute an angled shot by Sabri Rais following a clearance form a corner action ended just wide. The Blacks recovered from the difficult start and in the 20th minute Sannat’s goalie Demis Bajada turned in corner with difficulty a shot by Brian Meilak following a fast break by Jerry Ogbuleke. Minutes later, the same goalkeeper blocked a closed ranged shot by Ogbuleke. Sannat claimed for a penalty following a tussle in the area y Roderick Apap on de Andrade. Ghajnsielem opened the score in the 33rd minute. Charlton Tabone released Frank Lee Galea on the edge of the area and the latter placed out of goalie’s reach with a fine lob. Sannat replied with a shot by Rais that ended over the crossbar and before half time an effort by Ogbuleke missed the target. After the break Sannat tried to produce a reaction and in the 47th minute they could have levelled the score but de Andrade and Mark Muscat both failed to connect to an inviting cross by Paul Spiteri. The Lions kept insisting and in the 53rd minute Ghajnsielem’s rearguard failed to clear a free kick by Paul Spiteri, Errol Grima won the lose ball, dribbled a defender but concluded badly with an open goal at his mercy. Two minutes later a shot by Mark Muscat ended just over the crossbar. In the 59th minute Ghajnsielem’s goalie Victor Agius made a difficult save to clear a close ranged shot by Kenneth Mercieca following a fine move by de Andrade on the left flank. Minutes later Sannat’s goalie Demis Bajada blocked on Haruna Doda who was entering the area and in the 71st minute Ghajnsielem’s keeper was called to make two difficult save to block an effort by Paul Spiteri and Mark Muscat’s shot from the rebound. In the 83rd minute Agius was once again called to make a difficult save following a shot from outside the area by Mario Cutajar and one minute later it was Sannat’s extreme defender who blocked well a good shot by Haruna Doda following a pass by substitute Joseph Buttigieg. Referee: Sammy Attard |
