Floriana 1; Tarxien 0

Mario Fontanella came to Floriana's rescue when he struck a last-gasp winner against Tarxien Rainbows 1-0 at the National Stadium.

The Greens had looked set for a frustrating afternoon after creating a series of goalscoring opportunities but were frustrated time and again by Tarxien goalkeeper Philip Schranz who distinguished himself with a series of fine saves.

Floriana also were awarded a penalty 12 minutes from time when Steve Pisani was upended in the area by Sacha Borg but Sebastian Nayar blasted his shot from the spot over.

But when it looked that the match would finish in a goalless draw, Fontanella grabbed the all-important goal when he fired home the winner with a spectacular volley.

Tarxien goalkeeper Philip Schranz was voted as the BOV Player of the match.
