Angel Torres proved Balzan’s hero once again as he scored two second-half goals to hand the Reds three massive points in the race for European football at the Centenary Stadium on Monday.

Balzan met Mosta in a direct clash for a place in next season’s Europa Conference League, with third place at stake following Gżira United’s slip against Birkirkara over the weekend.
