League Play-Off

Tepelena Stadiumi
Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Florenc Gërxhalliu started the match with the kick off. Haki Bakaj struck a weak shot in the 6th minute. Ramir Telhaj didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tepelena KS. Zaimin Divjakas short, quick shot in the 18thth minute got Ramir Telhaj to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. After 19 played minutes Ballagat got a freekick which was hit by Llambi Kanani. A collision led to Tepelena KS getting a freekick after 34 minutes play. Behar Latifllari hit a great ball. In the 43rd minute, Haki Bakaj reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Ramir Telhaj. The goal made the score 1-0. Sali Çorbaxhiu kicked well hit freekick during the 47th minute of the match. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Haki Bakaj made a kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Sefedin Kaçi got free with Behar Demali in the 57th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Haki Bakaj fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ramir Telhaj having to interfere. In the 61st minute, Zaimin Divjaka left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Tepelena KS fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0. In the 78th minute of the match Behar Latifllari sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Ramir Telhaj skillfully saved the ball. In the 84th minute Florenc Gërxhalliu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Behar Demali saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Leon Gegprifti charged in rather forcefully in the 90th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Leon Gegprifti the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Ballagat's Leon Gegprifti got a free kick in the 90th minute. When Zaimin Divjaka came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the Tepelena KS fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Zaimin Divjaka couldn't finish the play. Behar Demali took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Florenc Gërxhalliu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 94 minutes into the game, Nevjon Plepi was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tepelena KS's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ballagat the free kick. In the 94th minute, Nevjon Plepi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Sefedin Kaçi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 97th minute, Florenc Gërxhalliu managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ballagat's supporters rose to their feet, but Florenc Gërxhalliu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Behar Demali breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tepelena KS's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
