PAOLA, Malta (Interstat) — Birkirkara defeated Hibernians 3-0 on Sunday in a Malta Premier League match at Tony Bezzina Stadium. Donovan Makoma led the hosts with two goals, opening the scoring in the 48th minute and adding another in the 61st. Kemar Reid scored Birkirkara’s second goal just three minutes after the first, finding the net in the 58th minute. The decisive win defied a pregame statistical projection that had forecast a draw. The result improved Birkirkara’s league record, while Hibernians, which was shut out, saw its form stall after entering on a two-game winning streak.
