For the second time in a week, Gzira United and Balzan shared the spoils in a goalless draw in a match from the 360Sports Malta Premier Closing Round at the National Stadium on Friday.
A result which definitely failed to do any favour to the two teams as Gzira now lie on the 13-point mark, two ahead of Balzan and three ahead of Melita and Naxxar Lions who share the bottom spot but have a game in hand.
The Maroons went close to taking the lead early in the game with a Macula close-range effort which was blocked by Danilo Golovic.
Five minutes in the second half, a diagonal shot from the right by Faysal Chouaib scraped past the post. Mentz then tried his luck with a long-distance effort, ending just over the bar. Balzan replied with a direct freekick by substitute Victor Blasco which ended just wide mid-way through the second half.
