Floriana began their Europa Conference League journey on a high note with a decisive victory. Despite conceding early in the second half, Darren Abdilla’s team made a remarkable comeback, scoring three goals in just eight minutes to take command of their two-legged tie against San Marino’s Tre Penne.

Marsaxlokk, the other Maltese team, also impressed in their return to European football. Facing Partizani of Albania, Winston Muscat’s squad secured a promising 1-1 draw, setting a positive tone for next week’s home match.
