Floriana extend unbeaten run with 2–0 old firm derby victory

Floriana defeated Sliema Wanderers 2–0 in the Malta Premier League's Old Firm Derby, extending their maximum points tally as current champions. The result handed Sliema their second consecutive defeat. Floriana and Sliema Wanderers are two of Malta's most storied clubs and their meetings carry the weight of a rivalry that stretches back generations.

The derby's local name, the Old Firm, reflects how deeply the fixture is embedded in Maltese football culture. In the 12th minute, Floriana's Paul Mbong drove in a close-range effort that Sliema goalkeeper Henry Bonello pushed away. Tomislav Gudelj collected the rebound and struck from an ideal position, but Bonello saved again to keep the score level at that point.

Floriana eventually ran out 2–0 winners. The scorers and timing of both goals are not available in the published match report, which covers only the opening exchanges of the match. Cristian Muscat reported the game for talk.mt.
