Sirens scored three goals in the last eight minutes of the match to gain three furtehr points and consolidat­e their leadership. They are now clear favourites to gain promotion to the Premier after yesterday’s performanc­e.

Sirens were dominant in the first half, taking the lead and missing several scoring chances, even from the penalty spot.

In the second half Qrendi made a good reaction and managed to obtain the equaliser two minutes past the hour. Qrendi even went close a surprise lead, as the game was now an open contest.

However nine minutes from time Qrendi were down to ten when their captain Bondin received a second booking, and Sirens took immediate advantage scoring three goals to put the issue beyond doubt.
