The two teams produced an end-to-end match with a lot of goalscoring opportunities for either side, with the Maltese team then managing to fend off the Baltic side from the penalty spot. 

Led by Kathleen Saliba, Malta had U-19’s members Francesca Bartolo, Kaysia Micallef and Lexine Farrugia – captain, in the starting formation.
