Third successive defeat for Hamrun Spartans

Hamrun Spartans suffered a third successive defeat in the 360Sports Malta Premier Opening Round as a penalty mid-way through the first half handed Sliema Wanderers a narrow win at the Tony Bezzina Stadium on Friday.

A win which puts Paul Zammit’s side four points behind leaders Birkirkara, one ahead of Hibernians and two ahead of Floriana but the Stripes and the Greens have a game in hand. The Spartans, on the other hand, continue to share the fifth place with Gzira United.

Sliema scored the all-important goal on 20 minutes after they were awarded a penalty when Myles Beerman was brought down inside the area by Elionay and from the penalty spot, Murilo Freire converted.
