Scorers: Koken Kuroki 29' (L), Raphael Kooh Sohna 74' (G)

Referee: Paul Toledo

Raphael Kooh Sohna scored Gudja's equaliser fifteen minutes from time to save his side from a defeat against Lija Athletic. Lija took a first half lead and looked set for a precious victory over the second-placed Gudja but Koph Sohna's equaliser dented their ambitions. 

The result leaves Gudja comfortably in second place but league leaders Sirens can now further increase their lead at the top.

Lija had their first shot on target after barely 4 minutes when an effort by Leon Muscat from a corner kick seemed destined for the net but was saved from the line by Gudja's defense.

They managed to open the scoring after 29 minutes of play when Koren Kuroki hit the target from close range.

Raphael Kooh Sohna managed to level matters on 74 minutes by beating Luke Bonnici with a low shot.
