Mark Miller’s young Malta side obtained a creditable goalless draw against Iceland in Reykjavik yesterday.

Last Friday, the youngsters were humbled 6-0 by Sweden.

It was the second positive result for Malta in this group. Way back in October, our youngsters had beaten the same Iceland by a solitary goal netted in added injury time by Cleaven Frendo.
