Pembroke obtained their second successive victory beating St. George’s 3-1, with the team from Cottonera suffering their first defeat of the season. Pembroke fully deserved their victory, dominating the match for long stretches and always in control, apart from the last portion of the game.

In the last minutes the Saints pushed everything forward and scored a wonder goal in the first minute of stoppage time, but their hopes were dashed to the ground on the 95th minute when Jean Pierre Mifsud Triganza who came on a substitute, scored the third goal following a quick break. Pembroke took the game by storm scoring two goals inside the first 23 minutes.

On seven minutes Mattia Zarb scored with a low shot following a Luka Mijic run on the left, and the same Mijic doubled the score on 23 minutes with a good shot on the turn that finished low in the corner of the net. Pembroke controlled the match till stoppage time when Caruana scored a beauty from over 40 meters, but Mifsud Triganza’s strike brought an end to the match.
