Hibernians and Sliema share the points

After almost playing 20 minutes without any real chances of a goal, Sliema’s John Mintoff had his effort foiled by Hibs goalkeeper Mario Muscat.

Mark Scerri’s was also not successful in his long distance effort as it went wide.

Late in the second half, John Mintoff’s attempt on goal was saved by Muscat and a minute later Mifsud Triganza’s effort was off target.

Sliema came very close on the 76th minute when Mario Muscat’s quick thinking foiled Mifsud Triganza’s pass to Obiefule, who could of put Sliema in front if he concluded.
