Victoria Hotspurs 1
Sannat Lions 0

League champions Victoria Hotspurs ended a memorable season in style by winning the Richard Ellis GFA Super Cup.

A goal from Uchenna Anyanwu was enough for the Hotspurs to secure their eighth Super Cup title and complete a quartet of honours this season.

The Hotspurs were the better side during the first half. Besides Anyanwu's goal, the Hotspurs had two other attempts by Martin Hanus that were cleared off the line.

Sannat striker John Camilleri looked too isolated up front and Victoria's rearguard managed to control proceedings without going through serious difficulties.

The Lions produced a determined fightback after the break but they continued to find it extremely difficult to penetrate. Sannat had their best scoring opportunity on 67 minutes when Sabri Rais came face to face with the goalkeeper but concluded badly.

Sannat also ended the match on a negative note as they had substitute goalkeeper Demis Bajada sent off from the bench for unsporting behaviour.

Team-mate Mario Azzopardi was also sent off deep into stoppage time for a second bookable offence.

After the final whistle, Tonio Ellis presented the Super Cup to the Hotspurs amid their fans' celebrations.
