The old firm derby between Sliema Wanderers and Floriana ended all square in an entertaining 1-1 draw.

Sliema’s resistance was broke on 21 minutes. Arthur Oyama delivered a teasing cross into the goalmouth and Lucas Vieira was on hand to head home.

While Floriana were content to keep soaking their opponents’ pressure after the break, the Blues had the onus of taking the game to their opponents.

Younes Marzouk blasted over the bar as Jefferson’s attempt was blocked by Ini Akpan with difficulty but both occasions showed that Wanderers’ propensity to push down the flanks was causing problems for Floriana.

Another neat move and Sliema equalised. Michele Sansone started the move with a sharp cross towards Frank Temile who completed formalties in front of Akpan.
