The MFA will investigate last month's Birkirkara-Hibernians match after the interested party (Valletta) called for such an investigation, MFA President Joe Mifsud said this evening on TVM's Dissett.

The case will be decided on the basis of probability according to evidence, Dr Mifsud said.

Earlier, he pointed out, however, that games such as that between Hibs and Birkirkara happened in other countries as well and even in the Champions league, when Milan were defeated after leading Liverpool 3-0. The fact that the outcome of a game could not be predicted was what made the game of football a beautiful one, he said.

Birkirkara defeated Hibs 5-4 after having been trailing 4-1.
