Valletta - 1, Msida - 0

Valletta closed the gap with joint leaders Qormi and Birkirkara to only two points after they beat Msida St Joseph 1-0.

Terrence Scerri struck the all-important goal for the Citizens when on 13 minutes he was at the end of a surging run from Priso Doding to fire the ball home.

From then on, the Citizens had countless chances to kill off the match but they were too erratic in front of goal and they almost paid dearly for their profligacy in front of goal when Tyrone Farrugia hit the upright for Msida midway through the second half.

But in the end they held on to their lead and are now just two points behind leaders Qormi and Birkirkara.
