A goal deep into stoppage time handed Floriana a narrow in over Mosta in the opening match from the 360Sports Opening Round Top 6 at the Centenary Stadium on Saturday.
Floriana therefore extend their unbeaten run to twelve matches as they hope to narrow the gap with leaders Birkirkara should they slip in the clash with Hamrun Spartans.
The match came to life in the dying minutes as two minutes in added time, Mosta were awarded a penalty after substitute Souleymane Kone was brought down inside the area by a defender but from the penalty spot, the Italian-born forward hit high.
But the game was not over yet as five minutes in added time, Jake Grech received an assist on the left and beat goalkeeper Udoh Akpan from close range.
