Qala Saints booked their place in the semi-finals of the GFA 1st Division KO after a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Nadur Youngsters at the Kercem Stadium on Saturday.
Nadur Youngsters drew first blood in the 25th minute through Daniel Vella, finishing a well-worked move to give his side an early lead. Qala responded before the break, and on 42 minutes Ibrahim Mohammed levelled the score with a composed finish.
Qala completed the comeback shortly after halftime when Nathan Chukwudi Njoku struck in the 53rd minute, sealing a deserved win for the Maroons, who showed greater intensity in the second half.
