Marsaxlokk holds Mosta to a 1-1 draw in Malta Premier League

Mosta’s perfect start to the VBet Malta Premier season ended in a 1-1 draw against Marsaxlokk at the National Stadium. Mosta, led by Mario Muscat, entered the match with three consecutive wins.

Mosta took an early lead in the fifth minute when Pedro Paulo da Silva Barbosa ‘Foguete’ scored following a cross from Geoffrey Acheampong. However, Foguete was forced to leave the pitch shortly after due to a collision with goalkeeper Christoffer Mafoumbi. Marsaxlokk equalized quickly through Rasmus Linden, who finished a move involving Dodo to slot the ball past goalkeeper Udoh Akpan.

Despite Mosta creating several opportunities, including a powerful effort from Prince Afriyie, the match ended in a stalemate. Marsaxlokk also had chances to take the lead in the second half, with Leandro Aguirre striking the upright.
