The local futsal league resumed with two matches involving Valletta and Luxol.

Valletta obtained their 13th win of the season after defeating Swieqi United 8-3. Valletta's Camilo Andres Vanegas Gomes netted twice together with a goal apiece for Jovica Milijic, Shawn Vella, Denis Di Maio, Mohamed Lamari and Clint Farrugia. The three goals for Swieqi United came from Leonardo De Souza, Stefan Camilleri and Leo Muscat.

Following this match it was Luxol's turn to acquire another three points, chasing leaders and champions Valletta. Luxol won 5-1 against Tarxien Rainbows. Luxol's Maicon Silva Gaiewski scored twice together with a goal apiece for Matthew Attard, Mark Zammit and Marwan Telisi. Tarxien Rainbows' sole goal was scored by Armando Djepali.

In the meantime the most expected match between Valletta and Luxol was missed as Valletta didn't turn up. The club's decision was followed by an official statement by Valletta FC on Friday morning, showing their dissapointment for certain MFA's Disciplinary Board decisions.

In the Elite Round Birkirkara jumped up to the third place, reaching Tarxien Rainbows after winning 5-2 against the University of Malta Students Team. The Stripes were amused by Everton Da Silva Santos' hat-trick together with Jason Mifsud and Glenn Bonello's goals. Unfortunately Bonello had his name also on the University's scoresheet as he missed to clear the ball and netted it in his own net.

Finally from the First Division, Swieqi United U21 had an entertaining Friday night match against UM Futsal Academy at the National Sport School Pavillion. Swieqi's youngsters had three goals without a reply, thanks to Dylan Gouder, Jurgen Ciantar and Misa Spajic.
