maltatoday, SUNDAY, 11 SEPTEMBER 2016 47 Sport SPORTTODAY FOOTBALL Balzan ....................... 1 Floriana ..................... 0 WARREN ZAMMIT FLORIANA went close after nine minutes when from a free kick, Ryan Camenzuli delivered the ball towards Nicolas Chiesa, whose header was turned over by Janjusevic. A minute later, Piciollo missed a good chance for Balzan, when after receiving from Nafti, the Italian fired a weak shot that was neutralised by Justin Haber. The Greens responded on the 27th minute. Ignacio Varela re- ceived a through ball, before concluding from the edge of the penalty area. However, his effort ended up wide. During the second half, both sides lacked creativity in front of goal. However, two minutes from time, Enrico Pepe fouled Alfred Effiong inside the pen- alty area, and Glenn Tonna pointed to the spot. From the re- sulting spot kick, Lydon Micallef converted to maintain Balzan's hundred per cent record.
