Zabbar St. Patrick's swift opening goal set the tone, allowing them to control the game tempo and exploit Gzira United's defensive disorganization.

Discipline played a crucial role, with Gzira United committing 13 fouls against Zabbar's 19. Despite having more fouls, Zabbar maintained composure, receiving only one yellow card compared to Gzira's two.
