Birkirkara continue to disappoint after being held in a goalless draw by Lija Athletic at the Centenary Stadium on Wednesday.
The Stripes therefore earn their first point but continue to chase their first win while Lija are now on the four-point mark.
During a quiet first half, Lija went close to taking the lead with a Fernando Brandan effort which ended just wide on the half-hour.
Early in the second half, substitute Luke Montebello, served by Yankam, hit just wide and then Caio Henrique Prado Rocha’s angled shot just missed the target.
Late in the game, it was Lija’s turn to go close with a freekick by Gonzalo Nicolas Virano.
