Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Mohamed Awad was the highest-rated player as Sliema Wanderers beat Birkirkara FC 3-2 in a Club Friendly. The scoreline flattered the visitors slightly, but they took their chances when it mattered.

Sliema equalised through Jean Borg in the 29th minute after Birkirkara had taken a 17th-minute lead. Two quickfire goals in the 65th and 67th minutes then put the Wanderers in control, and despite Birkirkara's earlier opener, they could not find a way back into the contest after that decisive spell.

Birkirkara controlled the game on the numbers, holding 53% possession and winning six corners to Sliema's one, yet they lost on efficiency. Mohamed Awad, the opposing goalkeeper, was the standout with a rating of 7.25 out of ten, keeping his side ahead when it mattered. No further fixtures are scheduled.
