Hamrun Spartans - 3, Sliema Wanderers - 0

Hamrun Spartans scored three goals in their first half to break down the resistance of Sliema Wanderers. After a rather shaky start, Hamrun stormed ahead thanks to Marcelo Pereira midway into the first half.

But Joao Mawete scored two late goals in the first half to seal Hamrun’s fifth win of the season.

Micallef supplied Pereira who opened the scoring with the deftest of final touches on the half hour mark. Hamrun doubled this lead on 41 minutes when Mawete swept home a cut-back by Pereira who pounced on a mishit clearance by Gatt Baldacchino.

The Angolan striker then made it three just before half-time, when he rose above everyone to power a great header into the back of the net.
