Valletta moved three points clear at the top of the premier league tonight after a 2-1 victory in a cold Ta'Qali.
The goals, all in the second half, came from Beckhaus and Monesterolo, with Mifsud Triganza getting one back from the stripes from the penalty spot in extra time. Valletta's second goal was also from the spot.
Birkirkara now need to beat Floriana to make sure of a championship pool place.
