Gzira United 1 Gudja United 1
7/1/23
Gzira started off the New Year slipping up with the loss of two precious points in a scrappy 1-1 draw against hopeful frontrunner's Gudja United.
The jinx of Gzira conceding late goals and missing out on important points has struck again. This was a frustrating match for Gzira who have become accustomed to such similar matches in the past, when they have been missing out on precious points in matches against lesser quoted opposition, especially when surrendering leads in the later stages of such matches. If the Maroons have to be considered as serious title challengers, it is such matches which have to be won.
