Sliema Held by Tarxien in Setback to Top Six Push
TARXIEN RAINBOWS 1
Lokosa 66
SLIEMA WANDERERS 1
Djuranovic 56
Sliema Wanderers saw their hopes of closing in on a Top Six place suffer a blow after being held to a 1-1 draw by Tarxien Rainbows at the Tony Bezzina Stadium.
The Blues entered the match needing a victory to strengthen their position in the standings and looked to be on course for all three points when Uroš Djuranović gave them the lead on 56 minutes.
However, Pablo Doffo’s side were unable to preserve their advantage as Tarxien responded with determination. Anthony Lokosa struck ten minutes later to restore parity and earn his side a valuable point.
While the result dented Sliema’s push for a Top Six finish, Tarxien were the more satisfied of the two teams as they added another important point in their battle to avoid relegation.
