Victoria Hotspurs scored five goals during the first half of their match against Kercem Ajax and put their minds at rest from three points which leave them at the third placing on the table.  This was the first match in the new year and of the second round for the two sides. The Hotspurs were aiming to make up for the disappointing defeat conceded in their previous match of the championship while Kercem, who had a number of regular players missing due to injuries and suspensions, had an objective to consolidate their mid-table position.  This was Victoria’s first match since they changed their coach Gotthard Conti with Guido Ugolotti but for this encounter the team was led by Shaun Bajada since the Italian coach took full leadership of the squad at the end of this match. The Hotspurs were determined to show that they are still the defenders of the title, despite their gap from the leaders, and dominated over their opponents for most pof the encounter.  Victoria’s Brazilian striker Elton Da Silva, who was making a return after a suspension of three matches, was a main protagonist as he scored three of the seven goals
