Hamrun Spartans return to winning ways

HAMRUN SPARTANS: 2 PEMBROKE ATHLETA: 1 Ħamrun Spartans returned to winning ways after defeating Pembroke Athleta with two first half goals.   The match turned out to be an interesting, if not vibrant affair with Ħamrun always predisposed to take their game to their opponents. Steve D'Amato's side scored twice in the opening period, but excitement kept brewing up in the second part of the game, when Pembroke cut the deficit. Ħamrun Spartans went near with a free-kick inside the first eight minutes. Mifsud Triganza's swerving drive looked destined to sail into top corner but goalkeeper Matthew Calleja Cremona jumped to his left to touch the ball away for corner. Jake Grech broke the deadlock just shy the quarter of hour mark, by turning and cracking in a looping shot which appeared to take a deflection via Andrea Scozzese as it sailed over a stranded Calleja Cremona. Ħamrun's forward-moving momentum had Saturday Nanapere and Jake Grech shifting positions and from one such foray, past the quarter of hour mark, Calleja Cremona pushed Jake Grech's close-range shot onto the post. Some lovely triangulation down the inside right by Nanapere, Patrick Teixeira Maia and Mifsud Triganza...
