With time running out, a rapid Kalkara counter saw Lucas Barcik stroke home the 83rd-minute winner to ensure the leaders keep marching on with a perfect record.

Mdina Knights 1–0 Gharghur

Mdina strengthened their hold on second place with a narrow but crucial win at the Luxol Stadium.

Marsaskala 3–4 St George’s

A seven-goal thriller at the Mosta Ground saw St George’s overturn a 3–1 half-time deficit with a sensational second-half comeback.
Marsaskala’s youthful side impressed early, scoring through Vivi-Gaetan Mahop and Zack Agius, with St George’s also conceding via an own goal. Sean Ellul had earlier levelled for the Saints.
After the restart, Jamiu Hassan reduced the arrears before captain Matthew Gauci took centre stage first equalising from the spot, then firing a stunning long-range stoppage-time winner to complete the turnaround and send the Cospicuans into celebration.

Rabat Ajax 0–4 Siggiewi

Siggiewi emerged as the surprise package of the weekend, dismantling Rabat Ajax with a convincing 4–0 triumph under the Sirens Stadium floodlights.
Juan Manuel Artiaga Roa’s early strike set the tone, with Roderick Taliana doubling the advantage before half-time.
Rabat’s attempts to react after the break were smothered, and Siggiewi added two late goals Artiaga Roa bagging his second before Nelson Mangion sealed a memorable victory that dents Rabat’s promotion hopes.

Msida St Joseph 1–0 Għaxaq

Msida finally broke through with a second-half strike from David Akindele to defeat a below-par Għaxaq.
The real star, however, was Għaxaq goalkeeper Luke Attard, who produced multiple top-class saves including a brilliant penalty stop to keep his team alive.
Msida dominated throughout and fully merited the three points, though the lack of cutting edge will remain a talking point for coach Conrad Debattista.

Santa Venera Lightnings 1–2 Ta’ Xbiex

A valuable three-point haul for Ta’ Xbiex lifts them into mid-table after edging out Santa Venera Lightnings.
Andre’ Joe Cutajar finished smartly to open the scoring before Mark Bonello Ghio doubled the lead just before the break.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Ta’ Xbiex held firm until the final whistle to secure their second win of the campaign.
