Hamrun Spartans suffered a third successive defeat as a goal ten minutes in added time handed Gzira United a narrow win in a match from the YoHealth Malta Premier Closing Round Top 6 at the National Stadium on Wednesday.

The Maroons, on the other hand, register their first win in the Top 6 to move one point behind Valletta and two behind the Spartans and Marsaxlokk.
Gzira scored the all-important goal ten minutes in added time when Brooklyn Borg sent Maxuell Samurai through and the latter advanced al along before slotting the ball past goalkeeper Henry Bonello.
