Mġarr United Clinch Their First Ever Women’s Football Trophy

Mġarr United made history on Thursday evening by securing their first-ever women’s football title, defeating Hibernians 2-0 in the Assikura Women’s Knock-Out final.

The Greens delivered a composed and dominant performance, denying the Paolites any real chance of mounting a challenge throughout the match.

It took just six minutes for Mġarr to take the lead, as Maria Hernandez capitalised on a well-placed corner by Yanina Mendez, heading the ball into the net.

With the early advantage, Mġarr shifted to a counter-attacking approach, effectively managing the game while seeking to extend their lead.

Their strategy paid off just before the break. A fluid attacking move saw Alejandra Villegas and her sister Valeria link up brilliantly, with the latter doubling the score to put Mġarr in a commanding position heading into half-time.

The second half saw both teams create several chances, but neither side was able to find the net again. Despite Hibernians pushing forward in search of a comeback, Mġarr’s defence stood strong to preserve their clean sheet and seal a historic win.

This triumph marks a major milestone for Mġarr United and a deserved celebration for their remarkable Knock-Out campaign.
