Birkirkara opened up a six-point advantage at the top of the Maltese Women's Premier League as Loza Abera scored twice in a 3-1 victory at Mgarr United on Tuesday night.
The Maltese leaders continued from where they left off before the Christmas break as they condemned third-placed Mgarr United to start the new year on a high in front of their fans at Dingli Ground.
After the first half finished goalless, 25-year-old new signing Ann-Marie Said netted her fourth goal in two matches to open the lead for the Stripes in the 53rd minute of the encounter.
