The Spartans broke the deadlock on the 53rd minute. Kevin Tulimieri’s delivery was met by Wilfried Domoraud who headed the ball home.

However, Hamrun’s advantage didn’t last long as Balzan equalised on the hour mark. Following a corner, the ball ended up in the path of Serrano Valero who headed it past Emmanuel Bartolo.

This result is a disappointing one for both teams as the two sides took a setback in their attempts to finish fourth.
