UEFA Under 21 Championship: Malta lose 2-1 to Georgia

Malta Independent Thursday, 27 April 2006, 00:00 Last update: about 11 years ago

Malta was eliminated from the 2006-2007 UEFA Under 21 championship when it lost yesterday’s second leg in Georgia 2-1. The Georgians, therefore, qualified on a 4-2 aggregate.

Reports from Georgia stated that the Malta played quite well throughout the 90 minutes and on the whole it was a good effort by our team.

It was a replica of the first leg a fortnight ago at Ta’ Qali, as Georgia took a 2-0 lead with goals in the first half and on the changeover.

Then Malta reacted and Dyson Falzon managed to net a consolation goal seven minutes from time.
