Malta secured a hard-fought 2-1 home win over Georgia once again in the UEFA Women’s Nations League, keeping their promotion hopes to League B alive.
Coach Manuela Tesse made one change, reintroducing Charlene Zammit for the suspended Emma Lipman.
Captain Rachel Cuschieri opened the scoring with a stunning long-range effort, while Georgia had a goal disallowed just before half-time in a controversial moment.

Haley Bugeja doubled Malta’s lead from the penalty spot after being fouled, scoring her 23rd international goal.
Georgia pushed back, and Mariam Kalandadze pulled one back in the dying minutes after a string of missed chances, including Tatiana Matveeva hitting the post.
Despite late pressure, Malta held firm to secure three vital points. With games against Cyprus and Andorra remaining, promotion is still within reach for the determined Maltese side.
Well done to all!
