Tarxien hit back to down Floriana

FLORIANA-2, TARXIEN RAINBOWS-3 Tarxien Rainbows maintained their rise up the table after coming from behind to beat Floriana 3-2 in a highly entertaining match. Despite missing five first-squad players, Tarxien found the strength and resilience to recover after twice falling behind in the first half before hitting the winner 17 minutes from time. The win extended Tarxien's positive run to three games while Floriana went down to their second consecutive defeat, leaving new coach Stephen Azzopardi still searching for his firs victory. Floriana enjoyed a great start. Three minutes from the start of the game had passed when Trevor Cilia's cross from the right was dropped by Tarxien goalkeeper Nicky Vella and Ryan Darmanin was on hand to fire the ball into the net. Another Cilia cross from the right was met by Darmanin but his header was wide. Tarxien equalised on 17 minutes. Evaldo's free-kick was parried away by Tony Warner but the ball fell to Karl Pulo who drove home from close range. Following a short spell of Tarxien pressure, Floriana began to dominate. They regained the lead on 27 minutes when Varma's well-hit free-kick smacked against the post but the ball dropped to Jeffers...
