Under-19's Team defeated by Valletta in seven-goal thriller

by Ayrton Galea - 15th December 2014

Birkirkara FC Under-19's Team had a three-goal comeback but it was not enough to take something from the match, as Valletta FC scored a last second goal, to win the dramatic match with a dramatic 4-3 result.

Following a shaky start, the Stripes fell three goals behind, but an excellent three-goal comeback thanks to goals by Shawn Deguara, Kurt Zammit and a direct free-kick by Russell Gatt De Raffaele levelled the score. However, Valletta notched the winner on the fourth minute of added time to leave the Centenary Stadium with maximum points.
