Attard-Zejtun C 5-1

Attard’s promising youngsters once again showed their potential as they gained another emphatic win, this time against Zejtun Corinthians.

On 20 minutes the post stopped a shot by Elon Cassar but Attard managed to break the deadlock on 34 minutes through Kurt Zahra. In the 43rd minute a mistake by the Zejtun defence led to Kurt Zahra’s second personal goal with Elon Cassar making it 3-0 in the 50th minute with an excellent volley.

On the hour Lee Borg added a fourth goal for Attard but on 75 minutes Zejtun were given a penalty for a foul by Attard’s reserve keeper Simon Haber on Glenn Azzopardi Busuttil and Godwin Mifsud converted from the spot.

In the 83rd minute Attard sealed their win through Andrew Agius for a final 5-1 scoreline.

Gharghur’s pressure finally paid off in the 31st minute with Lawrence Vella beating Cortis with a low shot and in the 44th minute an indecision by the Mdina custodian led to Robert Cassar making it 2-0 at the end of the first half.

Mdina gained the initiative after the break as they dominated the proceedings.

Nader hit the crossbar in the 62nd minute but Andre Cauchi had better luck in the 78th minute as he beat Edwards with a low shot.
