Naxxar Lions and Marsaxlokk shared the spoils in a goalless draw in a match from the 360Sports Malta Premier Opening Round at the Victor Tedesco Stadium on Sunday.
The Southseasiders stay one point ahead of Naxxar as they extend their positive run since the arrival of coach Enzo Potenza to four matches. On the other hand, for the Lions, this was the third successive draw and the fourth draw in five matches. A draw which leaves them second from bottom, one point behind Marsaxlokk and Balzan and two behind Melita.
Marsaxlokk created the better chances during the first half, with Alex Tanque going close to putting them ahead on two occasions. In the second half, Yuri Messias had a good attempt neutralised by Matthias Debono and despite having Pedro Vitor sent off on 76 minutes, Naxxar almost notched the winner through Caxambu in added time but goalkeeper Marko Drobnjak came to the rescue for the Southseasiders.
