A four goal lead in the first half an hour looked to have given Mqabba the three points but a great comeback from the Gozitans gave them a deserved late equaliser.
The draw handed Gozo FC their first point following their back-to-back defeats in their first twelve outings.
Mqabba made the brighter start and opened the score before half-time. After the change of ends, Kevin Loughborough’s boys assumed control of the match and netted three more goals in the process.
Just when it looked as though Mqabba would hold on to their lead, Gozo FC came back fiercely and scored four quickfire goals which saved them from another defeat.
Miguel Alcaraz, Kevin Loughborough, Justin Psaila and Darren Aitchinson were the scorers for Mqabba.
A hat-trick by Warren Zerafa and a goal by Jean Paul Abdilla levelled the matters for the Gozitans.
