Victoria Hotspurs confirmed their good moment of form in the second round of the championship and earned three precious points from deserved 3-1 win over Kercem Ajax. With the points obtained the Hotspurs moved to the fourth place on the table and for the first time this season they move away from the burden of the relegation zone.

The match turned out to be well contested during the first half as the Hotspurs scored an early goal but the Ajax had a strong reaction, levelled the score and created more scoring opportunities before the break. However the Hotspurs came out in a better shape for the second period and as time passed by they took command of play and obtained the win by scoring two goals. Kercem struggled to produce offensive play during the second period, particularly when their influential midfielder Sebastien Martinez Turizo had to be substituted due to an injury, and did not manage to recover the score so that they ended up conceding the second consecutive defeat.
