Floriana need just three points to clinch the first 360Sports Malta Premier title following their 3-0 win over Mosta.

They are now level on points with Marsaxlokk but have a better direct encounter record.

Floriana took the lead inside ten minutes when Fernandinho’s freekick was too powerful for Mosta’s keeper Anse Ngoubi Demba.

Demba made amends saving a Franklin Sasere just on the hour mark.

Florinana made it 2-0 moments later when a Gonzalo Gamarra freekick picked out Matias Garcia who headed the ball home.

Substitute Elvis Mashike made it 3-0 six minutes from time with a close range effort inside the box.

Hamrun and Sliema trail by one point with Birkirkara fifth, three points behind the joint-leaders.

On Wednesday, Floriana take on Birkirkara, Marsaxlokk face Hamrun Spartans while Sliema Wanderers meet Mosta.
