Munxar Falcons recovered from the defeat conceded in their opening match of the competition and obtained a convincing 5-0 win over Zebbug Rovers. With this win Munxar re-opened their chances to clinch a place in the final, while Zebbug practically compromised their hopes of challenging for the second most important honour for the lower category.
Munxar dominated over their opponents throughout the match and practically made sure of the win with three goals scored during the first period. Zebbug never managed to produce a reaction and Munxar’s goalie was never called to make any difficult save. The protagonist for Munxar in this match was Ayesller Carvalho who scored four personal goals.
