Birkirkara scored an early goal to overcome Mġarr United and restore their five-point lead ahead of their upcoming clash against second-place Swieqi United.
The Stripes had to dig deep to clinch the three points as they had to play almost the entire second half with 10 players after Charlene Zammit’s red card in the 55th minute.
Despite the numerical advantage, Mġarr could not take advantage as Jose Borg’s Birkirkara managed to keep them at bay and secure a crucial win.
