Hibernians 3, Floriana 1

Hibernians ended their commitments in the euro cup with a 3-1 victory over Floriana to pick up their final three points, albeit they were already guaranteed of top spot before the match.

After the match, MFA president Carmelo Bartolo presented the trophies to Hibernians skipper Mario Muscat.

As expected Hibernians were the brighter side in the opening period, Farrugia locating the target with a rising effort but Jurgen Borg tipped the ball over inside the first five minutes.

On the quarter-of-an hour mark, Andrew Cohen through ball played Dias into acres of space, only to find Jurgen Borg, the Floriana goalkeeper on the alert to intercept the ball before reaching the unmarked Farrugia on the other side.

Hiberians got the goal their dominance deserved four minutes later, a corner kick by Lima took a deflection and went straight to Adrian Pulis for the tap-in at the back post.

As the two teams were headed for the dressing rooms at half-time, Michael Woods ordered his team back on the pitch as they formed a circle around their coach to listen to the half-time talk in the open air. Ndekre Elie Moises, who is having a trial with Hibs, came for Pulis as Woods tweaked this formation with the Ivorian striker deployed as a lone striker in a 4-1-4-1 set-up.

But Floriana started a bit brighter in the second period as Strati curled an exquisite free-kick over the ball and inside the post to equalise in the 50th minute.

However, Hibernians responded by scoring twice in ten minutes.

In the 57th minute, Farrugia won a penalty as he was felled by the onrushing Jurgen Borg. From the ensuing penalty, Cohen made no mistake by sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.

Ten minutes later, Floriana skipper Manolito Micallef was sent off as referee Alan Mario Sant saw him commit a foul as the last man on his opponent Dias. Lima's free- kick flew right through the defensive wall and into the net behind the hapless Borg.
