YoHealth Malta Premier 2025/26
Opening Round – MD5
Sliema W………1
Valletta……..…1
A late goal from substitute Evandro Gomes, just seconds away from the final whistle, gave Valletta a point in a 1-1 draw against Sliema Wanderers.
After a goalless first half, Sliema broke the deadlock in the 61st minute with a beautiful strike from Sulahmana Mamadu Bah.
When it seemed that Sliema were heading for their third win, a cross from Brewer found Evandro Gomes, who entered the small box and finished with a low first-time shot, sending the Valletta fans into raptures.
The goal salvaged a point and kept Valletta at the top three of the YoHealth Malta Premier table, level on points with Ħamrun Spartans and Marsaxlokk.
