Hibernians FC 0:4 Floriana: Premier League Match Result

Match report

Floriana took all three points at Hibernians Park on Saturday evening, running out 4-0 winners in the sixth round of the Premier League. The visitors opened their account in the thirty-sixth minute through F. Varela and doubled their lead just before the interval with a second goal from P. Mbong.

The second half brought a third when S. Odey found the net in the sixty-ninth minute, and the final tally was confirmed with a goal in the ninetieth minute. Hibernians had their captain M. Romling booked in the fiftieth minute, but the yellow card came too late to alter the direction of the contest.

There were several changes on both sides as the game progressed. Floriana brought on J. Roe and M. Ellul in the sixtieth minute, while Hibernians made three substitutions around the eighty-fourth minute, bringing on D. Vella, C. Zammit Lonardelli and P. Mbong, who had already scored.

The statistics told a straightforward story. Floriana held 57 per cent of possession and created more clear-cut opportunities, registering six shots on target compared to Hibernians' three. The visitors also dominated set-pieces with eight corners to two, though the difference in attacking output was the deciding factor.

By then the table reflected what had been evident on the pitch. Floriana sit top of the league with thirteen points from six games, while Hibernians remain tenth with five points and one victory. The result extended Floriana's strong start to the campaign and left Hibernians with work to do before the next fixture.
