Punch-up in Marsaxlokk-Hibs match ends with €20 fine

MFA Appeals Board revokes Marsaxlokk midfielder Arias' three-match ban

The Malta FA Appeals Board has revoked the three-match suspension handed to Marsaxlokk midfielder Ulises Arias following the fracas at the end of the Premier League match against Hibernians and has instead imposed a €20 fine.

The case refers to the Premier League clash between Hibernians and Marsaxlokk that was played at the Tedesco Stadium during which the Southerners came back from two goals down and secured a 2-2 draw against the Paolites.
