Hibernians run riot against Tarxien Rainbows
5‑2, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Miullen puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hibernians, and it is not being withdrawn.

A brace, and Ryder Matos takes the afternoon — 8.44
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ryder Matos provided it, and the 8.44 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

6 saves: Matteo Cardinali was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

A defender's goal wins it for Hibernians — 7.79
1 for Pedrão, marked 7.79, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Ryder Matos among the goals in a wild afternoon
7 goals in one match, Ryder Matos on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Hibernians and Tarxien Rainbows.

3 academy graduates step up at Hibernians
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Bjorn Kristensen in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hibernians this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The crowd has taken to Mouad El Fanis
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
