Floriana returned to winning ways as an early goal handed them a narrow win over Gzira United in a match from the YoHealth Malta Premier Closing Round Top 6 at the National Stadium on Thursday.
The Greens therefore ended their Closing Round commitments on top with 37 points and now await either a clash with Hamrun Spartans in the Finalissima or a semi-final in the Final Four, depending on the outcome of the matches between Hamrun and Valletta, Marsaxlokk and Naxxar Lions on Saturday.
Gzira, on the other hand, now turn their focus on the Meridianbet FA Trophy where they would be facing Valletta in three weeks’ time. For the Maroons, Clayton Failla was making his final appearance after the veteran defender decided to hang his boots.
Mustapha Jah scored the all-important goal for Floriana after just five minutes.
