Gzira United……………….. 0
Hamrun Spartans…………… 0
Kienet partita ferm tattika dik li rat lil Gzira United u Hamrun Spartans itemmu l-konfront ta’ bejniethom fi draw ta’ mingħajr goals biex il-Gżirjani qabżu waħedhom fl-ewwel pożizzjoni.
Minkejja d-dominanza territorjali tal-Ispartans, dan jista’ jitqies bħala draw ġust bi Gzira jiddefendu għal ħinijiet twal … u dan ir-riżultat kien ifisser li għadhom bla megħluba f’dan il-Closing Round.
Il-Maroons ħarġu fuq l-offensiva u wara biss żewġ minuti Maxuell Maia ġie wiċċ imb’wiċċ mal-goalkeeper, Henry Bonello, iżda kellu x-xutt tiegħu mblukkat minn Emerson Marcelina u Rafael Compri rispettivament.
Hamrun wieġbu fit-tmien minuta meta Danilo Bulevardi kellu xutt salvat tajjeb mill-goalkeeper ta’ Gzira, Edoardo Colombo.
Fl-24 minuta, Hamrun resqu viċin meta Matias Nicolas Garcia indirizza ballun insidjuż iżda kemm Joseph Mbong kif ukoll Damir Ceter naqsu li jagħmlu kuntatt mal-ballun biex il-goalkeeper Colombo salva mingħajr tbatija.
Fil-50 minuta, Colombo reġa’ kien providenzjali għal Gzira meta salva tajjeb fuq Shaisen Attard.
Fl-64 minuta Compri għadda tajjeb lejn Vincenzo Polito li kellu d-daqqa ta’ ras tiegħu salvata tajjeb minn Colombo.
Din kienet pjuttost l-aħħar azzjoni denja ta’ nota biex sas-suffara finali l-iskor baqa’ ma nbidilx.
