Zejtun returned to winning ways yesterday beating Pembroke thanks to a brace by Johan Castano, with both goals coming in the opening minutes of the game.

Zejtun thus ended their barren spell of four consecutive defeats and stopped Pembroke’s positive run of four consecutive victories. The match was decided in the early stages when Johan Castano scored two well taken goals to put Zejtun on the right track.

Pembroke took some time to settle down and the two goals suffered did not help much. However they came back in the game and were unlucky when a Zachary Grech scorcher slammed against the crossbar.

In the second half Pembroke domintade for long stretches and the Zejtun custodian made some daring saves to keep a blank sheet and was given a helping hand by captain Neil Tabone four minutes from time when he cleared the ball off the goal line.
