In the FA Trophy match between Floriana and Marsaxlokk, Floriana secured a narrow 1-0 victory with a second-half goal early in the 48th minute. Despite the scoreline, the match was intensely competitive, with Floriana's ability to maintain discipline, particularly in avoiding offsides, being a key factor in their success. They managed to stay onside throughout the match, showcasing effective coordination in their attacking play. Marsaxlokk, on the other hand, struggled with staying onside, tallying three offsides throughout the match, which disrupted their attacking momentum.

Additionally, set pieces were crucial in creating opportunities for both sides, with Marsaxlokk gaining nine corner kicks compared to Floriana's five. Despite this advantage in corners, Marsaxlokk failed to capitalize on these opportunities, unable to convert them into goals largely due to Floriana's solid defensive organization and effective clearing of high balls. Floriana's fewer corners were more about quality than quantity, creating dangerous situations during the moments they had set pieces.

Fouls and yellow cards played a significant role in shaping the flow of the game, with both teams equally sharing the burden of disciplinary actions through four yellow cards each. The physical nature of the match was evident with Floriana committing 15 fouls to Marsaxlokk's 11, indicating Floriana's aggressive approach to break up play and disrupt Marsaxlokk's rhythm. This physical contest led to a choppy game flow, where tactical fouling by Floriana effectively neutralized Marsaxlokk's attacking threats, enabling them to hold onto their early second-half lead until the final whistle.
