Vittoriosa cruise to easy victory
Vittoriosa S Rabat A 4 0
Vittoriosa cruised to an easy victory yesterday against bottom of the table side Rabat Ajax in a one sided affair.
Rabat are practically doomed to second division football next season and yesterday they were never in the game.
After a couple of attempts in the opening minutes Vittoriosa took the lead on ten minutes thanks to a Jo Jo Ogunuppe strike.
Eight minutes later Vittorisa doubled the score when Tanuya Arakawa chased a long baall to drill home poast a helpless Vella.
Rabat had nothing to offer and Vittoriosa continued to dictate scoring a third goal on 38 minutes after missing several other chances.
It was Nello Arriagaga who fired home from the edge of the area.
In the second haalf Vittoriosa did press much as they were more than happy with their three-goal lead, but on 76 minutes the Stars were awarded a penalty for a handling infringement and Arriagaga made no mistake from the penalty spot.
