A remarkable season ended in the perfect way for Floriana with the conquest of the 21st FA Trophy in their history at the expense of arch-rivals Valletta.
Jan Busuttil had given Floriana an early lead in Sunday’s final but the Citizens managed to level matters with a Mario Fontanella penalty that sent the match into extra-time.
Here, Floriana looked set for a frustrating afternoon when Busuttil missed a penalty in extra-time but substitute Andrei Ciolacu produced a stunning finish to give the Greens a 2-1 win to the delight of their fans.
Under the guidance of Italian tactician Gianluca Atzori, boasting Serie A experience as a coach, the Greens thrived against the odds and produced some of the best football in the domestic scene.
