Maltese Futsal Championship 2007âÂÂ08 Winner: Scandals Bar
The final match of the 2007âÂÂ08 Maltese Futsal First Division Championship Play-Offs between Scandals and European Pilot Academy was abandoned following crowd trouble. The synthetic surface at the Corradino Sports Pavilion was damaged when supporters invaded the pitch and threw burning flares during the Division One championship decider, leading to scuffles and the abandonment of the match.
Scandals started strongly and established a 3-0 lead, before European Pilot Academy - composed largely of Malta-based Serbian players - responded with two goals. By halftime, Scandals were ahead 4-2. In the second half, the Serbian side narrowed the gap to 4âÂÂ3, but Scandals replied with two additional goals, extending their lead to 6âÂÂ3. European Pilot Academy then scored a fourth goal with around seven minutes remaining.
Shortly after that, a group of Serbian supporters ignited flares inside the Corradino Sports Pavilion, resulting in heavy smoke that made the venue unsafe. Referees paused the game, and while players and officials â including national futsal coach Michal Striz â attempted to restore order and encourage the fans to leave, the situation escalated further.
Although the individuals responsible eventually exited the venue, the smoke rendered conditions unplayable, and the referees officially abandoned the match with the score at 6âÂÂ4 in favour of Scandals.
Scandals were declared champions of the Maltese Futsal League after the Malta Football Association's Control and Disciplinary Board awarded them a 2âÂÂ0 victory over European Pilot Academy.
