Mġarr United had to wait until the final quarter of the game to score twice and propel themselves to a season opener victory against a gutsy San Ġwann side.

Kelly Agius Pace opened the score before defender Abigail Camilleri doubled the lead.

However, San Ġwann did pull one back late in stoppage time but it was not enough for them to salvage at least a point from this match.

Led by coach Michael Mangion, Mġarr had two new faces in their starting formation in defender Anastasia Sivolobova – a Moldova international, and Brazilian playmaker Joelma.

On the other hand, San Ġwann’s coach Julian Camilleri gave the nod to three foreigners including former Mġarr duo Tourki Chaaima and Oumaima Mhalli.

Andela Kricak of Serbia, who grabbed the goal for San Ġwann, was the other foreigner.
