Gzira United…………………1
Sliema Wanderers…………0
Gzira United secured a crucial victory over Sliema Wanderers with a late goal in the 360Sports Malta Premier League Closing Round at the Centenary Stadium on Saturday. The hard-fought win boosts the Maroons’ standing in the league, putting them just one point behind the tightly contested third-place pack.
With this result, Gzira move within touching distance of the six teams—Birkirkara, Hibernians, Marsaxlokk, Mosta, Sliema, and Zabbar—all tied in third place. Meanwhile, Sliema Wanderers suffered their second defeat in three matches, continuing an inconsistent run in the Closing Round with three losses in six outings.
The decisive moment arrived in the 83rd minute when Thaylor delivered a pinpoint assist from the right flank, setting up Faysal Chouaib, who calmly slotted past goalkeeper Agu Kelvin Emeka from close range. The goal proved to be the difference in a tightly contested encounter, handing Gzira a valuable three points in their push for a strong league finish.
