Match Report
| 9' | Lija were assigned a corner-kick from the right-side of the pitch. This was easily saved by the goalkeeper |
| 16' | A Lija player was shown the yellow card for a clear-hands ball |
| 22' | Rabat had a free-kick on the right-side of the pitch. This was very good taken by David Azzopardi. If it wasn't for the goalkeeper who sent the ball out to a corner-kick, the ball would have been sent in the back of the net |
| 29' | Emmanuel Muscat tried a personal shot from out of the penalty area. The shot was weak and central and was easily saved by the goalkeeper |
| 31' | A Lija player tried to leave his mark by shooting from outside the penalty area. The shot finished well wide |
| 34' | Lija sent a low cross from the right-side of the pitch. No Lija player was in a good position to finish the ball and the ball was easily cleared up by one of the Rabat players |
| 37' | Lija scored their first goal of the match. Joseph Caruana sent a bad back pass to the goalkeeper. A Lija striker was easily set up for a scoring opportunity in front of the goalkeeper which he did not waste |
| 45' | In the beginning of the second-half, Rabat performed two substitutions. Alan Zahra entered instead of Jason Cassar, while Darren Galea entered instead of Joseph Caruana |
| 48' | Lija continued where they left in the first half. They had their first shot which was saved by the goalkeeper |
| 51' | Lija tried another shot from the left-side of the pitch. This finished inches wide |
| 53' | Lija performed their first substitution |
| 55' | From a corner-kick, Adam Smeir passed the ball to Alan Zahra. He easily moved into the penalty area, but the shot was finished high |
| 59' | A Lija player was shown the yellow card after a bad foul on Darren Galea |
| 63' | Lija tried a shot from the left-side of the pitch. This was saved by the goalkeeper |
| 63' | Darren Galea was shown the yellow card |
| 66' | From the right-side of the pitch and from behind, Michael Micallef sent a dangerous cross into the penalty area. The Lija goalkeeper easily saved the ball by anticipating all the other players |
| 67' | Lija performed their second substitution of the match |
| 67' | A Lija player was shown the yellow card for wasting time |

| 76' | Adrian Mifsud was shown the yellow card for pushing |
| 78' | Kayne Said was substituted by Ryan Micallef |
| 80' | Rabat were assigned a free-kick on the left-side of the pitch. David Azzopardi sent a cross into the penalty area. The ball was headed by Darren Galea. The ball was in some way touched by the goalkeeper who sent the ball on the bar and out for a corner-kick |
| 81' | Lija performed a counter attack. The Rabat defence was too slow and it was Michael Micallef who stopped the ball just in time to avoid another Lija scoring opportunity |
| 82' | Darren Galea tried a personal shot but the ball was shot wide |
| 85' | Jonathan Azzopardi was away from the goal line. A Lija player adventured himself from a shot from the middle of the pitch. The Rabat goalkeeper did not manage to recover back his position and the ball finished in the back of the net for a sensational goal |
| 86' | Alan Zahra tried a shot but finished wide |
| 87' | Lija tried another shot, but this was saved and cleared by the goalkeeper into a corner-kick |
