MFPA and Floriana set for title-deciding showdown in VMFA Premier League

Malta Football Players Association (MFPA) and Floriana FC will face each other tomorrow in a direct clash to decide the winner of the VMFA Premier League on the final day of the season.

The MFPA currently lead the standings with 34 points, just one point ahead of Floriana who sit on 33.

In the 15-goal encounter, Jonathan Bondin scored a hat-trick, while Aleksandar Ribic and Mark Zammit netted a brace each. Thomas Paris, George Frendo and Stanimir Miloskovic also got on the scoresheet for the winners.

Luxol tried their best to reduce the gap through a brace from Dylan Musu and goals by Glenn Bonello, Gary Inguanez and Tyron Borg, yet the MFPA proved to be too strong on the day.

Floriana were awarded a 3-0 walkover against Birkirkara St Helen's, while Hibernians Veterans secured an important 6-4 win over Gżira Veterans. Luke Satariano and Beppe Antignolo both scored hat-tricks for the Paolites, while Kevin Sammut replied with a hat-trick for Gżira. Sebastian Nayar added another goal for the Maroons, in an entertaining match of ten goals.

As the final matchday is set to take place, Luxol St Andrew's take on Gżira Veterans today at 19:15 at St Dorothy's round. The final day will take place tomorrow, with the title deciding fixture between Floriana and the MFPA at 19:15, and the match between Żurrieq Wolves and Rabat Veterans.
