HAMRUN, Malta (Interstat) — Hamrun Spartans defeated Tarxien Rainbows 2-1 in a Malta Premier League match Saturday at Victor Tedesco Stadium.

Matthew Guillaumier opened the scoring for the hosts in the 44th minute. Tarxien’s Jonny equalized in the 62nd, but Hamrun’s Anthony Obonogwu netted the decisive goal just five minutes later.

The victory solidifies Hamrun Spartans’ strong domestic campaign. Tarxien Rainbows’ struggles continued despite the competitive performance, as they remain near the bottom of the league table. The result reversed a 1-1 draw between the clubs from their previous meeting in August.
