Pieta football supporters exploded in cheers as their favourite team managed to snatch a last minute draw during a very important match.
Pieta Hotspurs are currently competing in Malta’s Challenge League Group B and currently stand in second place with a very good chance of being promoted.
On the 4th of April they faced off against Tarxien, who occupy 4th place and sat just two point behind Pieta. A win would have meant that Tarxien would replace their second place ranking.

This seemed to be the case throughout the match as tensions rose with every kick and pass. However, this all changed in the 90th minute. As Tarxien enjoyed a comfortable lead throughout the whole play, Pieta Head Coach Paul Gatt brought in superb-sub Paul Lapira.
The player entered the 82nd minute and managed to change up the score during the dying minutes of the game. Lapira provided an assist to Daniel Zerafa in the 90th minute and then score one himself during the 94th.
The electrifying comeback just when all seemed lost meant that Pieta could hold their 2nd place as well as a massive double celebration for Pieta supporters in the stands.
