It was a battle of David vs. Goliath. West Ham are far too good team, they have brilliant players and one very good manager in the face of Slaven BIlic , who recently was manager of Besiktas. One of the “hammers” player is favorite of mine during his stay in Lazio – Mauro Zarate. All the stats and mats did say that West Hame will not have any problems with the team from Malta. But what exactly happened:

1. Early goal and the total result was 1-1 from both games.

2. Red card for a player of West Ham in the end of the first half.

3. Second half and extra time, no goals were scored…

4. The roulette of penalties … The better team , did not win:(

5. This is why we love football.

Hands up and hats down for those 11 heroes of Malta. Good job lads, you showed the world that humble teams can do a lot and can make people talk for they grand games for a long time.
