Hotsticks 3

Rabat  3

An exciting game which seemed to be in Rabat’s grasp but Hotsticks had other ideas and hit back to draw level twice and end the match in a draw.

Rabat raced to a two nil lead in the third and seventh minutes thanks to two goals scored by Shaun Falzon from short corner actions.  

Although under pressure from other short corners, Hotsticks pulled one back in the 23rd minute through Steve Portelli.

Hotsticks drew level for the first time in the 46th minute when Michael Bugeja scored from a short corner action.  

This stung Rabat into action and they went ahead almost immediately in the 48th minute when Kevin Micallef netted from yet another short corner. Incredibly two minutes later Steve Portelli scored to bring Hotsticks level again.  

Both sides had chances to add to their tally but the game ended in a very interesting high scoring draw.
