After just seven minutes, Mario Fontanella was shown a red card for a violent conduct.

Pembroke tried to make the most out of the situation and created a good opportunity on the 33rd minute. Manolito Micallef went on a good run before trying to place the ball inside the net; however his effort went slightly over.

Floriana went ahead on the 63rd minute. Amadou Samb went past a defender and sent a pass towards Ignacio Varela. The striker fired a strong shot that gave Matthew Calleja Cremona no chance.

The greens doubled the score fifteen minutes from time. Varela hit a shot that was blocked by a defender. The ball fell for Amadou Samb who finished past Calleja Cremona once more.

Pembroke managed to reduce the margin of the score in the additional time given by the referee. Shola Shodiya sent a cross inside the penalty area that was met by Adrian Borg. The twenty-seven year old kept his composure and finished inside the net.

Referee: Alan Mario Sant
