Malta was held in a 1-1 draw by Belarus in another match from the VisitMalta Women’s International Friendlies at the Tony Bezzina Stadium on Sunday.
Following a goalless first half, Malta forged ahead on the 58th minute courtesy of Alishia Sultana whose cross shot from the right beat goalkeeper Natalia Voskobovich.
However three minutes in added time, substitute Iana Artishevskaya levelled matters for Belarus, beating Xuereb with a shot from inside the area.
