Valletta 2
Hibernians 0
Valletta strolled past Hibernians in impressive fashion to move into the semi-finals of the National League 100 Anniversary Cup this evening.
Ton Caanen’ side contained too much style and steel for Hibernians as the Centenary Cup holders demonstrated that they fully intend to put their hands on the once-in-a lifetime trophy as they did 10 year ago.
Roderick Briffa’s low drive put the Citizens ahead after 65 minutes and Kevin Sammut slammed in a second on 73 minutes to ensure their comfortable passage into the next round.
As Hibernians found themselves a goal behind, defender Jonathan Pearson was sent off for two bookable offences.
