Dino Zammit led Malta in scoring with a hat-trick, while Ben Plumpton, Liam Galea, Nicholas Bugelli, Matthew Zammit, and Andreas Galea also scored respectively. James Gambin and Ben Plumpton scored the other two. Near the end of the game, goalkeeper Jake Tanti turned aside a penalty, securing Malta’s win. It was Malta’s first-ever triumph in normal time (the only other victory having come against Turkey on penalties), and it will ensure the nation’s best-ever finish in the tournament.
