Malta U-21 began their new era under coach Davide Mazzotta with a 1-1 draw against Estonia in a friendly, preparing for their European Championship qualifiers.
Mazzotta, previously with the senior squad, implemented a familiar three-man defence to ensure tactical continuity.
Estonia controlled possession early, but Malta remained compact and counterattacked when possible.
Andy Borg came close to scoring before Karel Mustmaa, a Benfica player, broke the deadlock for Estonia.
Malta responded quickly, with Keyon Ewurum heading in from a corner.
Both teams exchanged chances, with Mustmaa hitting the woodwork and Malta’s defence holding firm.
Despite Estonia’s late pressure, Malta held on for a draw and build up steam for their upcoming commitments.
Well done boys!
