Former Golden Eaglets striker Jeremiah Ani scored a hat - trick for Maltese First Division side Birzebbuga SP last weekend, but his team eventually lost the game 7 - 5 to St Andrews.

Malta youth international Kyrian Nwoko, who trialed with Huddersfield Town and Crystal Palace in July, bagged a brace for the away team.

He opened scoring for both teams in the third minute before striking again in the 63rd minute.

Jeremiah Ani’s treble came in a 29 - minute spell, with his first goal scored in the 61st minute before adding two more in the 78th and 90th minute.

Also in the second - tier, Joseph JoJo Ogunuppe and Ige Abdullahi Adeshina were on target for Zurrieq and Lija Athletic respectively.
