Balzan registered a second consecutive win as they defeated Santa Lucia 1-0 at the Tony Bezzina Stadium.
For Santa Lucia, this was the third defeat in as many matches to remain anchored at the bottom of the table.
Aleksandar Katanic scored the all-important goal on the 14th minute when he stole a ball off the feet of an opponent and advanced upfield before beating goalkeeper Celio with a powerful shot from outside the area.
