Valletta …...................1
Red Star Belgrade …...2
Wirja qalbiena minn Valletta ma kinitx biżżejed, hekk kif wara li fl-ewwel taqsima kienu goal minn fuq, wara l-mistrieħ ġew ikkontrollati għal kollox milll-qawwa Serba ta’ Red Star Belgrade li dawru telfa f’rebħa bl-iskor ta’ 2-1, valida mill-ewwel leg tat-tieni round preliminari tal-UEFA Champions League.
Valletta kellhom bidu mill-aqwa u wara kwarta logħob fetħu l-iskor meta Leandro Aguirres xeħet cross perfett lejn Federico Falcone li minn tarf il-kaxxa tefa’ ġewwa permezz ta’ xutt mill-ewwel.
Fis-66 minuta, is-Serbi kisbu l-iskor indaqs permezz ta’ goal ferm simili għall-goal ta’ Valletta, meta minn cross ta’ Guelor Kanga, il-ballun spiċċa f’saqajn Aleksandar Katai li permezz ta’ xutt mill-ewwel u b’lob delizzjuż, għeleb lil Henry Bonello.
Red Star skorjaw il-goal tar-rebħa fil-75 minuta, meta Aleksandar Katai xeħet cross fil-baxx lejn Predrag Sikimic li mill-viċin ma żbaljax.
