Zejtun C. vs Siggiewi 1-0 Zejtun played the better football during the first-half and early on a Norbert Gerada crosshot was saved by Camilleri.

Siggiewi gained the upper hand in the midfield sector after the change of ends and they were very close through efforts by John Mascena and David Calleja which were well saved by Fardell.

In the 75th minute and indecision between Siggiewi's keeper Tommy Camilleri and Mark Aquilina allow Zejtun’s striker to shoot home from close-range with Siggiewi’s response producing an Eman Ciappara free-kick with Fardell bringing off a fine save. In a counter-attack Zejtun were denied by Camilleri off an angled shot by Mario Farrugia.
