Ta’ Xbiex offer stiff resistance to champions Luxol St Andrews

Luxol St Andrews warmed up for their commitments in the UEFA Futsal Champions League with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Ta’ Xbiex in the Enemed Futsal League. 

Ta’ Xbiex produced one of their best performances this season and were unlucky not to get at least a point from this encounter.  

Luxol’s goals came from Mark Zammit, Andre Ciancio and an own goal while Karl Sciortino and Zvevdan Vukovic responded for Ta’ Xbiex. 

Swieqi United obtained a hard-earned 7-3 win against Marsaskala.  

Despite the score, the Seasouthsiders gave their all against their more-quoted opponents.  

Fabrizio Zammit and Michael Borg netted a brace apiece while Brandon Debono, Justin Theuma and Brayan Steven were also on the scoresheet.  

Marsaskala had Craig Pickard who notched a brace with Dylan Caruana also on the mark.  

In a very interesting encounter, Żurrieq Futsal beat Malta U19 8-4. 

The Żurrieq side established a 6-1 advantage but the Maltese youths fought back to pull back three goals. But in the end the superior experience of their opponents prevailed as they scored two more goals.  

St George’s had a positive match against Fgura United to win the derby of the south 8-3. 

Karl Luke Schembri maintained his scoring form as he scored a poker while Faisal Alnakou netted a brace. Sean Parnis and Jose Luis Carlos Lopes also put their names on the scoresheet.  

Fgura’s goals came from Sebastian Nayar, Jacques Vella Critien and Matthew Buttigieg on the mark.
