BOV Player of the Match: Angel Yesid Torres (Balzan).

Balzan had too much attacking class for Żebbuġ as Angel Yesid Torres marked his Premier League debut with a hat-trick.

The Columbian striker notched twice in the early stages of the match – putting Oliver Spiteri’s side firmly in control- but the game was thrown into choas by a controversial decision from referee Fyodor Zammit.

Australian striker Charles Ngoy threw a lifeline to ten-man Żebbuġ but Brian Spiteri’s side were punished by Torres who completed his hat-trick in the second half.
