In a closely contested match, Naxxar Victorians were held to a 1-1 draw against Hal Far Titans in their final fixture of the 2023-24 season. Despite displaying moments of brilliance, the boys failed to secure the win they desired.
Hal Far opened proceedings right after the halftime break with a goal from a corner. The match saw Keith Zammit Tabone shine for Naxxar as he netted the equaliser moments later. Zammit Tabone’s goal, his second of the season, came after an impressive build-up and link-up play from midfielders Nathan Farrugia and Dejan Mijailovic. However, Naxxar’s efforts to clinch victory were thwarted by a resilient Hal Far defence and shots that slammed the post.
