Mġarr United Maintain Unbeaten Run as Title Race Tightens

Mġarr United preserved their unbeaten league record on Saturday, though they were forced to settle for their first dropped points of the season in a goalless draw against Hibernians. The match came just days after Mġarr’s Malta FA Jubilee Cup triumph over the same opponents, and this time both sides produced a balanced, hard‑fought encounter with few clear chances.

Despite the stalemate, Mġarr remain top of the table on 28 points, but their lead has narrowed after Swieqi United registered a commanding victory over Valletta. Swieqi now sit second on 22 points, six behind the leaders, while Hibernians drop to third on 20.

Swieqi’s win was driven by a sensational first‑half performance from Andela Kricak, who scored four goals in the opening 35 minutes to put the match beyond doubt. Two more goals after the break sealed a comprehensive result, leaving Valletta anchored to the bottom with just one point.

In another key fixture, Birkirkara strengthened their hold on fourth place with a late surge against San Ġwann. Patricia Lamanna broke the deadlock before Momo Ueda added a brace, including a stoppage‑time strike, to secure the win. San Ġwann remain fifth on four points.
