In a season marked by key moments and rising talents, one flash of brilliance lit up March — and it came from the boots of a midfielder who may not always steal the headlines, but consistently commands respect on the pitch.
𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗠𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗴, the intelligent and composed engine at the heart of Birkirkara’s midfield, has been named the winner of the Fastex March Best Goal Award for his stunning strike during Matchweek 27 of the National League.
Though not known for prolific goal-scoring, Mbong’s game is defined by vision, control, and the kind of subtle mastery that makes teams tick. That mastery was on full display during the Gozo Weekender, when Birkirkara faced Sliema Wanderers at the Gozo Stadium. Despite the Stripes falling to a narrow 2-1 defeat, it was Mbong’s curling effort from distance that stole the show — a moment of technique and timing that left fans and pundits alike in awe.
The goal wasn’t just a highlight of the match; it was a statement of intent from a player who has been instrumental in Birkirkara’s resurgence this past season. With his leadership and presence in midfield, Mbong has helped guide the team back to prominence and into the frame for European competition.
His future remains unwritten, but if this season has shown anything, it’s that Paul Mbong is a player destined for continued growth and impact — wherever his football journey takes him next.
Congratulations to Paul on a deserved recognition — the Fastex March Best Goal was more than a goal; it was a masterpiece.
