Title holders Marsa St Michael were eliminated from the MAFA KO after suffering a 3-0 defeat against Senglea Gunners. The Marsa side, who had won this competition last season, found it very difficult to keep up with the pace of their opponents, who on the other hand were very effective in attack.

Isaac Kwesi Dankwah put Senglea ahead after nine minutes, while a minute into the second half Lamin Jaiteh made it 2-0.

Isaac Kwesi Dankwah then sealed the win by scoring his personal brace and sending his team into the semi-finals of the competition.
