Hibernians created the first chance of the match after nine minutes. From a corner, Clayton Failla sent a cross that was met by Da Silva Pereira. The Brazil- ian sent a header that forced a good save from Andrea Cassar who tipped the ball behind him for a corner. Mark Miller's side had another good opportunity on the 20th minute. Jurgen Degabriele hit a show from outside the penalty area that went just centimetres wide. The Poalites kept on dominat- ing possession and managed to go ahead on the 36th minute. Joseph Mbong went on a good run down the right flank and sent a cross inside the penalty area towards Degabriele. The youngster attempted a shot that was blocked. Rebound fell for De Lima Siqueira who hit a low shot that ended up inside the net. The Rainbows took the initia- tive in the early stages of the sec- ond half and managed to equal- ise on the 49th minute. Andrei Agius brought down Julian Galea inside the penalty area and the referee pointed towards the spot. From the eleven metres mark, Triston Caruana kept his com- posure and finished past Andrew Hogg. Hibs hit back on the 54th min- ute when Jorge Da Silva Pereira fired a shot from a distance that found Cassar on the alert. From the resulting corner, Cassar was instrumental once more as he parried Andrew Cohen's header. Six minutes later, Da Silva Pereira attempted another shot from a distance that went over the bar. On the 64th minute, Clayton Failla took charge of a Hiber- nians free kick and delivered a cross that found Agius. The Mal- tese defender sent a header that looked destined for the net, but Cassar dived onto his left side and parried the ball. Rebound fell for Lima Siqueira; however, the assistant referee raised his flag for an offside. Da Silva Pereira regained the lead for Hibs on the 72nd min- ute. The Brazilian won posses- sion outside the penalty area, went past a defender and fired a stunning shot that gave Cassar no chance. Hibernians had a chance to in- crease the margin of the score on the 90th minute when substitute Renan Pimenta Telles went in- side the penalty area and hit a low shot that was parried by Cas- sar.
