In the first match from Match Day-5 of the GFA BOV Gozo Football League of the first division Sannat Lions and Oratory Youths shared four goals and earned a point each which keeps them both on equal points on the table.
The two sides were aiming to obtain a win from this encounter in an attempt to move away from the lower places on the table. Sannat and Oratory obtained a win each from their respective previous four matches and therefore a win from this direct clash could have been crucial for either side. However, the match turned out to be well contested where Oratory were in the lead on two occasions, but they conceded Sannat’s comeback and at the end the win could have gone either way. The Youths left the field of play much more disappointed with the outcome as they missed some good scoring opportunities to score a third goal before conceding Sannat’s second equaliser. The protagonists of this match were Oratory’s Haraan Goncalves Barbosa and Sannat’s Sebastien Martinez Turizo who scored a brace each.
