The match between Paola Hibernians FC and Gzira United on 25 August 2024 ended in a 2-0 victory for the home team, Paola Hibernians FC. The goals came in the second half, with the first goal at 67:53 minutes and the second at 84:09 minutes. This indicates strong performance and successful execution post-half-time adjustments by Hibernians, who capitalized on their scoring opportunities.

Both teams were disciplined yet aggressive, as evidenced by the six yellow cards, split evenly between them. Paola Hibernians FC received their first yellow card late in the first half (44:35) and two more in the second half (79:05 and 90:46), while Gzira United's cards were issued at 45:44, 54:51, and 88:37. This demonstrates that both teams played with considerable tenacity, although it did not devolve into unsportsmanlike behavior, as no red cards were issued.

In terms of corner kicks, Gzira United had a slight edge with five compared to Hibernians' three. Despite Gzira United's offensive effort manifested through these set-pieces, they failed to convert these opportunities into goals, which underlines inefficiency in their execution or strong defensive efforts by Hibernians during these situations. Conversely, Hibernians managed to maximize their fewer scoring chances, demonstrating clinical finishing, which was a pivotal factor in their win.

Overall, despite the closely matched statistics in fouls and yellow cards, the substantial difference lay in offensive efficiency. Paola Hibernians' ability to score two crucial goals in the latter part of the second half, leveraging perhaps their tactical adjustments and exploiting defensive lapses in Gzira United, was instrumental in securing their victory.
