Roberto Brincat made it 2-0 on 12 minutes and Hili added a third on the half-hour mark following a pass from Antoine Zahra.
At the other end, the San Ġwann keeper made fine saves to stop shots by Jeremy Gatt Coleiro but on the stroke of half-time San Ġwann made it 4-0 thanks to a Zahra goal.
San Ġwann eased the pressure after the change of ends and the Saints reduced the arrears on 67 minutes following an own-goal by defender Renie Forace.

On 54 minutes Balzan were denied by Mercieca off a David Mamo shot with Birżebbuġa hitting back with a well-taken free-kick by Johan Zammit that just missed the target.
