Day 15 Valletta 2 Balzan 2
Valletta and Balzan shared the spoils in an entertaining match. Balzan’s disjointed football contrasted sharply with Valletta’s brisk movement which, on 9 minutes, culminated in a sweet interchange between Falcone and Mifsud, the latter bypassing Steve Bezzina who in the process lost his coordination but was denied by Elkin Serrano Valero’s timely tackle. Valletta...

Day 13 Valletta 0 Mosta 0
Valletta’s title defence hit a snag this afternoon when they were held to a goalless draw by struggling Mosta at the Tedesco Stadium. The Citizens dominated proceedings for much of the first half but they rarely tested Yenz Cini in the Mosta goal. On 20 minutes Jhonnattann picked up a short clearance and he...

Day 10 Valletta 0 St Andrews 0
St Andrews put up a plucky display mingled with some intelligent rearguard action to frustrate their more-quoted opponents Valletta and keep them at an arm's length. The first danger stemmed from the right wing, when Alhinho sidestepped his marker and laid the ball to Santiago Malano. From the latter’s through-pass, Mifsud had time and...

Day 08 Valletta 3 Gzira 1
The champions bounced back to winning ways today after a poor run of one point in three matches. The Citizens were off to a flying start.

Day 07 Valletta 1 Bkara 1
Valletta and Birkirkara took a point each after cancelling each other in a 1-1 draw at the National Stadium. The first half was bereft of scoring chances. In fact the first opportunity arrived on 32 minutes when Jonathan Caruana picked Federico Falcone but the Argentine fired his effort just over. Birkirkara responded on 35...
