An early goal secured Sliema Wanderers their third victory in four games, as they clinched a 1-0 win over Marsaxlokk in the 360Sports Malta Premier match at Tony Bezzina Stadium on Sunday.
This triumph elevates Paul Zammit’s side to joint-first place, while condemning Marsaxlokk to their fourth consecutive defeat.
Sliema made two changes from the team that drew with Hibernians, bringing in Vito Plut and new signing Wescley Matos da Silva in place of Neil Frendo and Jonata. Conversely, Marsaxlokk implemented four changes, selecting Karl Micallef, Nikolai Muscat, Patrick Nonato, and Lucas Lopez over Jake Ghio, Enmy Pena Beltre, Nikola Raden, and Duane Bonnici.
The decisive goal came ten minutes into the game when Wescley’s shot from inside the area left goalkeeper Marko Drobnjak helpless.
