Portugal beat Switzerland to progress to quarter finals

Dec 6 2022

Portugal have beaten Switzerland with the help from young striker Goncalo Ramos who scored a spectacular hattrick to help his country progress to the quarter final.

Portugal went into the first half searching for a goal and that is what they got in the 17th minute from a powerful shot by Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos who put his name on the map after replacing Ronaldo in the line up.

The Portuguese managed to find another goal in the 33rd minute this time a header from a corner by experienced center back Pepe.

Ramos managed to get another goal under his name in the 50th minute to completely shut down any hopes of a Switzerland come back. The chaotic Switzerland defence led to yet another Portugal goal in the 55th minute this time scored by left back Raphaël Guerreiro.

Only two minutes later, Switzerland managed to get a goal back through defender Manuel Akanji slightly touching the ball from a well taken corner.

It was Goncalo Ramos’s night as in the 66th minute the fast striker scored his hattrick and managed to become the first player at this World Cup to score a hattrick and prove wrong all the doubts he had pre game for replacing a legend of the game in Ronaldo.

To place the cherry on the cake, AC Milan forward Rafael Leao scored a wonderful floating effort in the 92nd minute.

They will now focus on their important quarter final tie against underdogs Morocco who have just beaten Spain.

Morocco shock the world and knock out Spain out of the World Cup

Dec 6 2022

Morocco have shocked the world and have beaten footballing giants Spain in a tense match which ended in a dramatic penalty shootout going the way of the north Africans.

The game was very close between the two countries with no one managing to score a goal in the full ninety minutes, despite Spain dominating the possession stats as usual.

Extra time was also not enough to separate the two team even though they both had more than one clear cut chances to score.

Moroccan keeper Yassine Bounou was the hero of the penalty shootout saving two of Spain’s three penalties which led PSG superstar Achraf Hakimi scoring a lovely panenka penalty to send his country to the next round of the World Cup and Spain back home.

They will now face the winner of the Portugal vs Switzerland tie in the quarter finals, hoping to continue their dream run.

EJJA ‘L HAWN is the new theme song of TV series ‘Iċ-Ċaqqufa’

Dec 6 2022

EJJA ‘L HAWN is the new theme song of the much anticipated fourth season of the TV series Iċ-Ċaqqufa, which returns on GO TV’s Tokis after six years in the making.

The song’s lyrics were authored by the series’ script writer, Pierre Portelli, while the music was composed by Megan May Caruana, who sings on the track, besides being one of the newcomers on the show in her first TV drama performance. The music arrangement and mastering were entrusted to Philip and Sean Vella, who did a brilliant job orchestrating the bitter-sweet tune, a perfect fit for the pungent lyrics.

The song is a mother’s cry to her troubled son. It depicts the lifelong journey of Rose, the protagonist in all four of Ic-Caqqufa’s celebrated seasons (2013 – 2022). When Michael learns, at a young age, that he’s the product of rape, things start to go wrong with his mental well-being. To shield him from reality, Rose puts Michael in a foreign college only to find out that loneliness, isolation and family deprivation made him worse. In this highly emotionally charged ballad, most of the social challenges faced by women who are victims of abuse are laid bare for everyone to witness.

You can listen to EJJA ‘L HAWN on Spotify, iTunes and local radio stations. The music video is available on GO TV, YouTube and social media.

Ic-Caqqufa season 4 is produced by Watermelon Media and GO Originals. It premiers on Tokis on 19th December.
