A penalty in the first half handed Gzira United a narrow win over Naxxar Lions in a match from the 360 Sports Malta Premier Closing Round at the National Stadium on Saturday.
This was the first win for Giovanni Tedesco’s side in the Closing Round following a defeat to Mosta and a draw with Birkirkara. For Naxxar, this was the third defeat in as many matches.
The Maroons scored the all-important goal on the 19th minute when they were awarded a penalty after Maicon handled the ball inside the area and from the penalty spot, Gabriel Bohrer Mentz converted.
