TARXIEN RAINBOWS……1
Hibernians naqsu li jitilgħu fl-ewwel post meta spiċċaw fi draw ta’ 1-1 kontra Tarxien Rainbows li kisbu l-ewwel punt.
Mas-suffara inizjali, Hibernians ħarġu fuq l-offensiva biex ifittxu goal kmieni.
Peró, l-ewwel ċans denju waqa’ għand ir-Rainbows hekk kif Angel Valverde Ledezma ra lill-goalkeeper, Constantin Laurentiu- Branescu jwettaq save kbir biex ċaħħad lit-Tarxiniżi milli jiftħu l-iskor.
Madankollu, kienu l-Pawlisti li fetħu l-iskor, fis-16-il minuta, meta d-difiża tar-Rainbows ikklerjat qasir biex il-ballun waqa’ għand Alfred Silas li kompla lejn MATTHEW DEBATTISTA li b’xutt mill-ewwel għeleb għal kollox lill-goalkeeper Andreas Cassar.
Fl-34 minuta, Laurentiu-Branescu wettaq save kbir meta Hibernians inqabdu fuq sieq ħażina hekk kif Valverde Ledezma ħarab waħdu minn kaxxa sa kaxxa u hekk kif ipprova jillobja l-ballun, il-goalkeeper Rumen tal-Pawlisti salva parzjalment u mill-azzjoni li segwit, Anthony Abidemi Lokosa xeħet barra minn pożizzjoni ideali.
Fit-42 minuta, Laurentiu- Branescu reġa’ kien deċiżiv fuq Valverde biex evita goal ċert għal Hibernians.
Fit-tieni taqsima, ir-ritmu naqas minħabba x-xita li bdiet nieżla iżda, fit-63 minuta, Hibernians fallew ċans tad-deheb li jirduppjaw meta minn azzjoni ta’ free-kick, Sunday Akinbule, ixxuttja ċentrali biex Cassar laqa’ parzjalment u mir-rebound, Kurt Shaw, li kien qed jirritorna wara l-avventura tiegħu ma’ Sorrento, minn taħt il-lasti ma laqatx il-ballun.
Fis-76 minuta, Tarxien kisbu d-draw meta mill-free-kick ta’ Claudio Barbosa, Bjorn Kristensen xeħet fix-xibka tiegħu stess.
