Għajnsielem underlined their supremacy in GFA Division Two with a fourth consecutive win after beating Xagħra United, still the only team without a victory.

The Blacks created the better opportunities throughout the match but only managed to score once, through Charlon Tabone on 28 minutes, for a slim 1-0 win.

Goalkeeper Luke Buttigieg contributed to Għajnsielem’s win as he denied Xagħra an equaliser with saves on attempts by Daniel Bartolo and Joseph Xerri.

Munxar climbed to second in the table after fighting back from a goal down in a 2-1 win over Għarb Rangers.

It was Rangers who went ahead when Justin Azzopardi scored from a penalty four minutes into the second half but their hopes suffered a blow when Christian Attard was sent off.

The Falcons took advantage of the extra man and struck twice in the final stages through Ryan Meilak (80) and Frank Paul Azzopardi (84 penalty).

In another match, Żebbuġ Rovers ran out 4-0 winners over Qala Saints.

The Rovers scored twice in each half thanks to Gorgi Portelli (35, 90+1), Manwel Cordina (44) and Carlton Mifsud (81).
