Floriana beat Hamrun 1-0 in the first Premier League match this afternoon, the solitary goal coming from a Christian Caruana header in the 60th minute.

It could have been 2-0, but Mauro Brincat had his penalty saved in the closing stages of the match.

Hamrun had salt rubbed into their wound with the sending off of Gaetan Spiteri in the 89th minute for a second yellow card.
