Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Xhevahir Lala got the match started through his kick off.

Çimi Istrefi was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Ergen Ademaj struck a weak shot in the 28th minute.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Imet Shyta was the one to do the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Xhevahir Lala in the 56th minute of play forced UNITED ALBANIA CF's goalkeeper Çimi Istrefi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Jeton Eminaj had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Çimi Istrefi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Xhevahir Lala, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 70th minute the ball was on its way in behind UNITED ALBANIA CF's goalkeeper Çimi Istrefi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Jeton Eminaj managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Xhevahir Lala ran back to his position shaking his head.
