BOV Man of the match: Sunday Akinbule (Mosta).
Mosta survived the first-half dismissal of Rodriguez Ekani to come back from 2-0 down to and hold Gżira United to a draw at the Tony Bezzina Stadium.
It was a remarkable turnaround to a match which for large spells saw Gżira dominate proceedings.
Mosta, by contrast, showed greater desire and were focused on their task to punish the Maroons’ slack defending
True, injury-plagued Gżira United were down to the ‘bare bones’ as Darren Abdilla was forced to name four goalkeepers in the teamsheet to complete the squad.
