Mtarfa secure play-off spot with decider win over Santa Margherita

A solitary goal by Janice Pace was enough to see Mtarfa Futsal book their place in the Enemed Women’s Futsal League play-offs, securing a crucial 1-0 win over Santa Margherita in the decisive match at the De La Salle Pavilion.

The game was closely contested, with both teams evenly matched throughout. However, it was Mtarfa who found the breakthrough when Janice Pace, receiving a well-timed pass from Charlene Cassia, outran her defender and slotted the ball past Santa Margherita goalkeeper Jennifer Galea to score the only goal of the match.

With this win, Mtarfa joined Zero Sei, Lija Athletic, and Swieqi United Futsal LEC07 in the play-offs, which are set to begin in the coming weeks.
