Tarxien move to second after victory

Vittoriosa had the first attempt on goal thanks to an effort from Jonathan Xerri.

Both teams had numerous opportunities to score a goal, but good defending and some fine goalkeeping kept both teams at bay.

In the second half, Tarxien finally broke the deadlock on the 79^th  minute. Everton Antonio Pereira beat goalkeeper Simon Agius with his powerful shot after receiving from a corner taken by Mark Tanti.

All three points go to Tarxien who are now alone in second place.
