Too easy for Pembroke

Rabat A Pembroke A 1 4

Pembroke registered another win, over bottom of the table side Rabat Ajax, to move to safer waters.

It was a one way traffic affair with Pembroke showing superiority throught the whole match, with Rabat having nothing to offer.

After a quite start Pembroke took the lead on 19 minutes when Mifsud Triganza was floored by Kurt Muscat and from the penalty spot Doding priso scored sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.

Six minutes later Pembroke doubled the score when Jean Pierre Mifsud Triganza fired home a beauty direct from a freekick.

But two minutes later Rabat were back in business when Larens Vella was floored by Neil Grech and from the penalty spot Joseph Caruana fired home with the ball finishing against the crossbar before finishing at the back of the net.

On 36 minutes Yanis Tonna missed a golden opportunity when freed by Mifsud Triganza, but five minutes later Tonna made no mistake from close range when he fired home the rebound off the goalkeeper who partially saved Triganza’s effort from the edge of the area.

In the second half after a Wayne Borg shot missed the target, Pembroke made it four on 70 minutes when goalkeeper Vella mistimed his sortie from a Triganza freekick and defender Caio Alves De Souza nipped to score from close range.
