Watch: Mifsud's late strike hands City crucial win
Video: Matthew Mirabelli
Michael Mifsud proved to be Valletta’s saviour yesterday as his injury-time goal handed Valletta a narrow win over a resilient St Andrews to maintain their title hopes alive.
The Citizens remain one point behind Balzan with three games left, a maximum of nine points at stake, even though the Citizens still have to cross swords with arch rivals Floriana and European hopefuls Gżira United.
Valletta missed a flurry of chances with Matteo Piciollo hitting the woodwork twice.
At the other end, the Saints also were denied by the woodwork on a couple of occasions through Tano Azian and Kevaughn Atkinson.
However, Valletta’s never-say-attitude allowed them to snatch a late winner when following an inviting ball into the box, the ball dropped onto Mifsud’s feet to finish with composure and hand Valletta three precious points.
