The Paolites lost goalkeeper Andrew Hogg injured early in the game and he had to be replaced by Rudy Briffa. However they had their fair share of scoring opportunities going close through Jorginho and Bezzina during the first half and Sahanek and Bezzina in the second half.

The game seemed heading for a draw but Jorginho had other thoughts as two minutes from time, he managed to notch the winner.
