From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2013–14 Maltese Futsal Knockout Cup, for sponsorship reasons also known as 2013-14 FXDD Futsal Knock-Out Cup, was a futsal competition in Malta, organized in a single-elimination format. Twenty teams entered the tournament, which began on 7 September 2013 and concluded with the final on 9 May 2014. Balzan claimed the title after a 9–2 victory over Vittoriosa Stars' futsal selection in the final.[1]
First Round
The major surprise of the first round was the elimination of Luxol St. Andrews by Hibernians, who secured qualification to the second round with a narrow 1–0 victory. Despite being strengthened by the arrivals of Anton Florin from Balzan and William Barbosa from Valletta, Luxol were denied on several occasions, while Hibernians found it difficult to break the deadlock. A late goal eventually gave the Paolites the win and confirmed their place in the next stage of the competition.[2]
