MATCH REPORT

Għajnsielem F.C. beat Qala Saints 9-1 to make sure that they kept their two point lead over Oratory Youths at the end of the day's play. The Youths beat Xewkija Tigers later in the afternoon to set up the decider for the championship. The May 1st clash between the two teams will determine the champion. The Blacks need to at least draw the match to stay ahead of the Youths. A win for the latter would mean crown the Oratory Youths as champions.

Għajnsielem returned to their dominant form but not before some resistance from a good Qala side. Alberto Xuereb opened the score with a deflected shot. Qala equalized shortly after when they caught the Blacks short at the back. Then came the goal of the season. A high ball was played towards Xuereb, who started the match as a central striker. He leapt high and controlled the ball with his chest. Upon landing Xuereb looped the ball over his marker and before the ball hit the ground he volleyed towards goal. The power of the shot took the ball past the hapless Qala keeper, the severe top spin on the ball caused the ball to descend dramatically under the crossbar and into the net. It was a spectacular, audacious strike from one of the brightest prospects in Gozo at Under/15 level.

Marco Ciangura headed in following a throw-in to give the Blacks a 3-1 half-time lead.

Jamie Vella volleyed spectacularly for the fourth. Damon Hili scored the fifth following a solo effort. Vella stole the ball to set-up Hili for the sixth. Andrew Attard scored the seventh goal with a low shot. Attard then tore down the right following a great Christian Cauchi dummy, and then he set up Jamie Vella for the eight goal. Joseph Azzopardi turned into his own net an Attard cross destined towards Josef Vella for the ninth and final goal. (Photography Andrea Grima)
