Qormi comeback from behind to defeat Melita

After both teams coming close to scoring in the opening minutes of the match, Melita managed to take the lead on the 34^th minute.

Off a cross by George Bribbon, Luke Micallef's header went in the direction of Daniel Cabanillas Ayllon who beat goalkeeper Steve Sultana with his low shot.

Even though Melita had the lead, the first half would not end in a positive note after they were reduced to ten men. Karl Vella Petroni was immediately sent off for ironically applauding the referee's decision.

Five minutes into the second half, Qormi started to take advantage of having the extra man.

Qormi's Edison Bilbao Zarate hit the woodwork with his powerful shot.

Qormi managed to score the equaliser on the 71^st minute. When cross by Leighton Grech was partially saved by goalkeeper Guillermo Gabilondo Garcia, Melita's Ivan Tufegdzic deflected the ball into his own net.

Roderick Sammut almost scored Qormi's second goal when his effort hit the woodwork.

One minute from time, Qormi scored the winning goal when off a cross by Edison Bilbao Zarate, Moises Avila Perez headed the ball past the Melita goalkeeper to make the final score 2-1.

Leighton Grech was voted BOV Player of the Match.
