Crushing 4-0 victory leaves Zejtun on course

Sirens Zejtun C 0 4

Zejtun crushed Sirens yesterday evening to register yet another victory to keep the promotion challenge activated. Sirens were in the game in the first part but fizzled out after missing a glorious chance at the start of the second half.

Zejtun immediately took the initiative and forged ahead on fourteen minutes when from a corner action Yessous Camilleri headed home, with the ball receiving a deflection from Sirens captain Daniel Sant.

Sirens hit back a Fieramosca shot from an ideal position, but his effort went well over the bar. Sirens had some good moments in attack, but without Giovanni Galea, they lacked the necessary punch. On the other hand Zejtun were always menacing when in possession and Marmara had to stretch to the limit to save an El Hussieny freekick on 30 minutes.

Two minutes later Marmara mistimed his sortie with the ball coming to Ryan Dalli who failed to capitalise sending well over the bar. Just before the break Sirens almost drew level when Luke Galea beat the offisde trap but his shot missed the base of the upright by a whisker.

The second half started with Sirens missing a gloriuos chance in front of goal with Michael Micallef failing to head home from three meters. On 51 minutes Adam Smeir’s drive was well saved by Marmara.

On 57 minutes Zejtun made it two when from a corner action, the Sirens defence failed to clear and Saturday Nanapere was on hand to hit home.

Fifteen minutes from time Zejtun made it three when Adrian Carabott headed home a well taken freekick by Saturday Nanapere. Ther was more to come as on 81 minutes Adam Smeir rocketed the ball at the back of the net after several attempts from various players were somehow blocked on the goal line.
