A penalty by Luke Montebello ensured Hamrun Spartans stay on top the BOV Premier League together with Floriana as they defeated Marsaxlokk 1-0 at the National Stadium on Saturday.
Hamrun therefore join Floriana on 20 points, moving seven points clear of Marsaxlokk, Sliema Wanderers and Hibernians who share third place on 13 points.
The Spartans scored the all-important goal four minutes from the end of the first half when they were awarded a penalty and Malta international striker Luke Montebello converted.
