The Veterans Malta Football Association advanced to the next round of the Jubilee Cup, part of the MFA’s 125th anniversary celebrations, after a 3-1 victory over the Malta Amateur Football Association (MAFA).

Although MAFA opened the scoring early through Chijioke Moses Nwankwo in the 4th minute, the Veterans quickly took control of the match. Jean Pierre Mifsud Triganza equalized in the 12th minute, with Thomas Paris and Andrew Cohen adding further goals in the 43rd and 59th minutes to secure the win.

Both sides had entered the match on the back of strong performances: MAFA had eliminated Masters Football and IASC, while the Veterans had previously beaten MESA and SWAN.

The game highlighted the Veterans’ experience and composure, allowing them to overcome a determined MAFA side and move forward in the competition.
