BOV Premier League | Santa Lucia 0 – Hibernians 2
Hibernians are back on track after securing a 2-0 win against neighbours Santa Lucia.
Hibernians came into this match looking two bounce back from two consecutive defeats. The Paolites lost to Birkirkara and Hamrun in their previous two outings.
However, their task was not an easy one as they were up against a side who were also looking to return to winning ways since Santa Lucia lost narrowly to Mosta in their last match.
Sanderra’s men broke the deadlock four minutes from half-time. Jack Grech’s cross was met by Imanol Iriberri who slotted the ball inside the net without much difficulty.
Iriberri scored again for Hibs on the 53rd minute. The Argentinian forward fired a stunning shot that gave Ryan Caruana no chance.
