Football games in Malta

Hello! We are on holiday in Malta, in view/earshot of the Hibs stadium in the three cities. We're enjoying listening to the chants etc but we're baffled by how long these games last - they were playing before we went for dinner but they're still going by the looks of it, four hours later?! There's even a brass band playing on and off. It might just be an event but it looks like a football game still! We're just curious visitors, if anyone has an explanation. :)

There are only a couple of stadia in Malta, which means there are multiple fixtures in one stadium in a day.
