Xewkija took the lead on 27 minutes when the experienced Chris Camilleri fired the ball home with an angled drive.
The first half ended 1-0 in favour of Xewkija but they all but sealed their place in the next round when, 17 minutes from time, Mark Camilleri pounced on a poor clearance by goalkeeper Brandon Bartolo and drove the ball home.
