Sliema Wanderers ended their Relegation Pool commitments on a positive after they eased past Vittoriosa Stars at the Hibs Stadium this afternoon.
The Wanderers held the upperhand for much of the match but they were denied by some stout defending from a resolute Stars defence.
The stalemate was finally broken on 76 minutes when player of the match Jackson Lima released Obinna Obiefule and the Nigerian lashed a powerful drive that gave no chance to Vittoriosa goalkeeper Jean-Mathias Vella.
The Wanderers all but wrapped up the points four minutes from time when Jean Pierre Mifsud Triganza profited from a misunderstanding between Vittoriosa substitute Jeffrey Chetcuti and goalkeeper Vella to fire the ball into a gaping goal.
Lima was voted as the BOV Player of the match.
