BOV Player of the match Roko Prsa (Ħamrun Spartans).

Ħamrun Spartans took a decisive step towards reclaiming the Premier League title when they overcame the challenge of Hibernians to continue to stretch their lead at the top.

A fine individual strike from Croatian talisman Roko Prsa handed the Spartans a deserved victory over the Malta champions in a match which they held the edge from start to finish.

In fact, the Spartans created the better chances throughout and could have also taken a first-half lead but Matthew Guillaumier missed a penalty.

But they kept their poise after the break and Prsa struck the killer blow just past the hour to secure the win but more importantly open a commanding 11-point lead over nearest rivals Gżira United.
