Pieta beat Zejtun in entertaining final match

Pieta H Zejtun C 4 2

Second placed Pieta defeated third placed Zejtun in an entertaining encounter that produced six goals.

Pieta had the first attempt on seven minutes with a Lawrence Chiedozie low drive missing the target. The match was rather slow with very few scoring chances till the 36 th minute when Pieta took the lead when Juan Manuel Artiaga lobbed the ball home over the onrushing goalkeeper.

On 64 minutes Clive Gauci crossed towards Nicholas Pisani who shot home from an ideal position. Five minutes later Pieta scored a third when substitute Jan Busuttil scored with a beautiful lob.

However Zejtun did not throw in the towel with Clayton Giordemaina missing a good opportunity on 73 minutes. But sixty seconds later Zejtun pulled one back when Adrian Carabott headed home a Sato cross.

Two minutes later Zejtun were back in the game when Neil Tabone crossed towards Omar Elhussieny who scored from close range. Zejtun threw everything forward in search of a dramatic equaliser but in stoppage time Pieta sealed the issue with a fourth goal when Laurence Chiedozie scored from close range after a fast counter break.
