Joe Galea and not Lino Galea entered. Link below has final confirmation. Malta Football Association also only give Lino Galea 2 caps (both vs Hungary in 1997) while Joe Galea has 61 in total including this match then. (link: )

Player coming in as substitute was not Joe Galea but Michael Galea of Birkirkara. He was playing his second match for Malta
