APS Bank U-15 Section c 2

Dingli S  0

Luqa   0

This was a very low standard game as both sets of youngsters lacked ideas in their play and actions worthy of note were very few during the whole 70 minutes. Following this game Luqa are in third place on 19 points from 11 games while Dingli are in fourth position on 17 points also from 11 games.

The first two actions were created by Luqa. Ian Muscat served Lydon Sciberras with a through ball and Dingli keeper Brandon Sant had to come out of his charge to kick the ball upfield and Aaron Demanuele was fouled on the left edge of the area.

After Sant partly saved the free kick by Mark Costa, Sciberras drove out from the rebound. 

In the first action by Dingli, Liam Schembri dribbled past a defender on the right flank and served Matthew Borg in the area and after the ball hit a defender from his shot keeper Neil Faenza was able to save it. 

Sant then saved a shot from outside the area by Keith Grima.

Dingli then mounted two other actions from one of which Faenza saved a free kick by Ryan Borg in two attempts.

In the last action before the break, Ian Muscat served Keith Grima with a through ball who, after entering the area, missed the upright from his shot with Sant beaten.

Dingli created the first action after the restart when Camenzuli served substitute Gareth Asciak with a through ball and Faenza was forced to come out of his charge to kick the ball upfield.

Luqa replied with Lydon Sciberras serving Muscat in the area. Sant foiled him with a timely sortie and after Andre’ Farrugia served Sciberras on the left flank the ball finished out following his cross-shot.

Andre’ Magro then won a loose ball outside Luqa’s area and after he lobbed it in the area it was partly cleared and Ryan Borg drove over the bar from the rebound. 

In the 59th minute Luqa came very close to break the deadlock when Costa served Grima on the left edge of the area and the ball missed the bar by inches from his shot with Sant beaten.

In the last action before the end, Ryan Vella was fouled outside the area and the ball was headed away following the free kick by Robert Schembri.
