Qormi 6

Rabat 0

The Early Exchanges Did Not Indicate Qormi Would Eventually Dominate This Game So Emphatically.

In Fact, Rabat Had The Better Of The Earlier Skirmishes. But, After A Period Of Midfield Play, Qormi Counter Attacked And Steve Tanti Pushed Home To Make It 1-0.

Qormi Held Their Own Towards The End Of The First Half When Goalmouth Exchanges Were Few And Far Between, Although They Did Not Avail Themselves Of Two Penalty Corner Opportunities In The Meantime.

Rabat Attacked Early In The Second Half But They Did Not Capitalise From Two Penalty Corners.

Qormi Then Scored Four Goals In The Space Of Six Minutes, Tanti Notching His Second And Adding Another One A Minute Later When His Shot Was Deflected Into Goal Off A Defender. John Williams Netted Qormi’S Fourth In The 50th Minute And Jonathan Borg Added A Fifth Soon After.

Rabat Had Left Themselves Open To Qormi’S Lethal Counter Attacks And Keith Calleja Took His Side’S Tally Up To Six When He Converted A Penalty Stroke In The 63rd Minute To Send His Team Two Points Clear At The Top Of The League Table.
