Tarxien Rainbows and St. Patrick FC played out a 1-1 draw in the Malta Premier League, a result that does little to ease either side's concerns near the bottom of the table. In a tense and scrappy affair, St. Patrick took a surprise lead against the run of play late in the first half. The Rainbows, spurred on by their home support, pushed relentlessly for an equalizer and were finally rewarded with a headed goal from a corner in the 75th minute. Both teams had chances to win it in a frantic finale, with the St. Patrick goalkeeper making a spectacular save in stoppage time to ensure the points were shared. The draw leaves both clubs firmly in a relegation battle, needing to find more consistent form in their remaining matches to secure their top-flight status.
