Birkirkara assured themselves of third place and a European soccer berth in a goalless draw with Sliema this afternoon.

Earlier Marsaxlokk lost their slim hopes for a third place finish when they were defeated 2-1 by Floriana at Ta'Qali.

They were in the lead on the hour thanks to Julio Alcorse, but a Christian Caruana brace in the 73rd minute and in extra time gave the three points to the greens. Alcorse was sent off with 15 minutes of play remaining.
