We want to create history against St Andrews, warns coach Glumac

Marko Glumac has set his sights on helping Sta Luċija become the first Division One side to win promotion to the Premier League via the promotion play-off when his team takes on St Andrews on Sunday.

The Saints assured themselves of finishing third in Division One when they crushed Lija Athletic on Sunday to finish three points clear of Naxxar Lions.

“We want to go on into the history books by becoming the first Division One side to beat a Premier League side in a play-off,” Glumac said.

“Yes many are considering us to be the underdogs, but we are not afraid of playing St Andrews. I think we have the quality to put on a strong performance and defy the odds. We are a small club with a big heart.”

The Saints needed just one point to wrap up third place but they put on a storming first-half performance which saw them surge into a four-goal lead.

Sta Luċija took the lead after eight minutes through a Jurgen Suda header before Patrick Teixeira Maia added a second five minutes later. On 16 minutes Kevin Ante Rosero made it 3-0 after a fast break.

Lija pulled should have pulled a goal back on 33 minutes but Erjon Beu missed a penalty.
