After a balanced first period Siggiewi enjoyed the lion’s share of exchanges after resumption.

Zurrieq created the first occasion as Clausio Gatt put Victor Zerafa through but Siggiewi keeper Justin Schembri saved his shot.

From a freekick shot by Damian Borg Zurrieq keeper Anthony Farrugia partially saved a shot by Jurgen Debono but the ball was cleared to safety; at the other end, Andre’ Bellizzi put Zerafa through but his shot missed Siggiewi’s bar by inches and Peter Barbara put Bellizzi but he drove over the bar.

A flagkick by Gordon Agius created havoc in Zurrieq's area but somehow the ball was cleared.

Zurrieq keeper Anthony Farrugia saved on Manfred Simiana after a Matthew Ciantar cross and also saved on Cari Mizzi after a Justin Buhagiar through pass.

Peter Barbara then pounced on a faulty clearance, advanced but shot weakly in Siggiewi’s keeper waiting hands.

After being two opponents, a shot by Jurgen Debono was cleared to a corner by a Zurrieq defender and a freekick shot by Damian Borg missed Zurrieq’s bar by inches and the final action came also form Siggiewi when a Damian Borg shot missed the upright after a back-heel pass by Simiana.

Msida deserved the verdict as they were the better team and also created more scoring chances.

As early as the fist minute Luke Stivala put Damian Debono through but Saints’ keeper Kyle Fenech saved his shot. Mark Schembri put Daniel Mizzi through but he headed high when well placed and Kurt Grech put Adam Spiteri through, the later crossed to Saliba who skied the ball from two metres.

In a Saints reaction, Bjorn Farrugia put Trevor Bellotti through but Msida keeper Daniel Borda foiled him with a timely sortie.

A cross by Mizzi was cleared to a corner by a Saints defender, a shot fromoutside the area by the same player missed the bar by inches and from a well-taken freekick by Kurt Hili the Saints keeper had to dive to save a header by Damian Debono.

Just before the half time whistle Msida deservedly opened the score through a rising a shot by Damian Debono after an Adam Spiteri through pass.

Three minutes after restart the referee cautioned Adam Spiteri for arguing his decision. Substitute Kersten Brincat put Mizzi through but Fenech saved his shot in two attempts.

On 54 minutes St George’s were denied a penalty when Bjorn Farrugia was tripped in the area but the referee saw nothing wrong and three minutes later Msida defender Matthew Borda was shown the yellow card for a late tackle on Francis Degiorgio.

On 67 minutes the woodwork denied St George’s the equalizer when the ball hit the upright with Borda beaten from a shot by Bellotti.

Just before the final whistle Msida scored a second goal when Debono pounced on a faulty clearance and scored from inside the area.
