Birkirkara Seal Spot In Final With Maxuell Maia Goal

Birkirkara are through to Saturday’s Top Four final thanks to a dramatic stoppage-time goal from Maxuell Maia, who broke Sliema Wanderers’ hearts deep into extra time.

In a match that had been largely uneventful and physically draining for both sides, it seemed destined for penalties—until Maia’s moment of magic.

With seconds left on the clock, Birkirkara won a free-kick. Shaun Dimech floated the ball into the box, and Maia rose highest to head home the winner, sparking wild celebrations among the Birkirkara players and fans.

The match itself was a tense, cautious affair, with both sides more focused on not conceding than pushing forward. Chances were few and far between, and fatigue clearly set in as the game dragged on. But Birkirkara’s persistence paid off.

The win sends them into the final—where they’ll face either Floriana or Ħamrun Spartans.

‘Just got home packing after one last meeting in Malta with my OG’s (we now have doubled in size and you’ll be seeing a lot of them in the coming days)’, she wrote, in reference to her team.

‘ We decided to meet at the cafeteria where we spent countless hours working before the Maltese semi-finals. We cried here, fought, discussed, laughed, did all nighters, but mostly worked hard for a concept we all poured our heart and souls into even though it felt scary most times for us all.’

‘As I write this message with tears in my eyes, I feel fully prepared and grateful to be living the dream I dreamt of since I was young’, continued Miriana.

‘Every bad comment I received, every personal attack I encountered about my music, about the way I look, weirdly enough feels like an achievement.’

‘Why so? Because I want to be different, and I want to be the voice for every soul that feels like they do not belong. And to the ones that have supported me since day one, that have given me love in the midst of all the crazy things happening. I fucking love you, and I wouldn’t be here without you.’

Moviment Graffitti Cancel Gaza Aid Vessel Protest After Encouraging Progress

May 4 2025 Share

The Moviment Graffitti protest “Let the Conscience In,” which was scheduled for today at 5:30pm outside Castille, has been cancelled following encouraging developments concerning the humanitarian vessel Conscience.

The aid vessel, which was allegedly attacked by Israeli drones off Malta’s coast while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza, has now received tangible offers of support from the Maltese Prime Minister according to Moviment Graffitti.

Organisers expressed gratitude to the many Maltese citizens who have shown solidarity with the ship’s mission and with the Palestinian people, who continue to suffer amid what has been described as a genocide in Gaza.

Despite the protest’s cancellation, they reaffirmed their demands: that the Conscience be granted permission to dock in Malta for repairs, and that the Maltese Government publicly condemn the drone attack on the humanitarian vessel.

Moviment Graffitti also encouraged the public to participate in the upcoming Nakba commemoration march on Thursday, 15th May.

The event, which honours the displacement of Palestinians in 1948, will take place along the Gżira waterfront and begin at 6:00pm. The movement remains committed to supporting humanitarian aid and justice for the Palestinian people.
