Football Results & Fixtures Ten-man Sliema Wanderers overcome Floriana Sliema Wanderers ...3 Floriana .................1 WARREN ZAMMIT DESPITE having to play the sec- ond half with a man less, the Wanderers remained organised to claim a 3-1 victory over a disori- ented Floriana side The first chance came for Flo- riana after four minutes when Mario Fontanella received the ball on the edge of the penalty area and fired a shot that ended up wide. Mario Fontanella managed to put Floriana ahead on the 11th minute. The Italian forward went through on goal and finished past Glenn Zammit. Sliema equalised on the 25th minute. From a free kick, Mathias Muchardi sent a cross inside the penalty area that was met by Jean Paul Farrugia who headed past Justin Haber. The Wanderers doubled the score on the half hour mark. Wis- dom Salamon received the ball from Muchardi before firing a low shot inside the bottom corner. On the 40th minute, John Butti- gieg's side made the score 3-1 through Marko Potezica. The Ser- bian striker went through on goal down the right flank and placed the ball past Haber. Floriana had a good opportunity to reduce the margin of the score on the brink of half time. Follow- ing a free kick, the Sliema defence failed to clear their lines. The re- bound fell for Nicolas Chiesa who fired high. Three minutes into the second half, Sliema ended up with 10 men when Marko Potezica was shown a straight red card for a foul on Maurizio Vella. On the 54th minute, Justin Haber was alert to deny Jean Paul Farrugia. The Sliema forward went inside the penalty area from the left flank and hit a strong shot that was parried out by the 35-year old goalkeeper. On the 61st minute, substitute Ryan Camenzuli went inside the box and attempted a shot, but his effort was blocked by Glenn Zam- mit. Three minutes later, Floriana were unlucky not to score after Enzo Ruiz saw his shot from a free kick hitting the woodwork. On the 67th minute, Denni Do Santos fired a strong shot from outside the penalty area that produced an excellent save from Haber. Three minutes later, Fontanella tried his luck from a distance, but his shot went high over the post. In the remaining minutes, Flori- ana controlled most of the posses- sion, but were unable to test Glenn Zammit.
