SUMMARY
In the last match from Match-Day 8 of the BOV Gozo Football League of the second division, the current leaders Sannat Lions registered another win with a large score and remain at the top of the table with maximum points. Sannat obtained a 5-2 win over Munxar Falcons, who are occupying the bottom place on the table, despite the fact that they had regular strikers Antoine Camilleri and Joseph Zammit missing from the starting line-up. Sannat paved the way to the handsome win with four goals scored during the first half. Sannat tried to control play after the break but near the end of the encounter they seemed overconfident and conceded some space at their defence so that Munxar scored two goals and went very close to score other goals to make the score more respectable.
TIMELINE
