Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

Et`Hem Koçiu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Qazim Qatipi in the 22nd minute of play. With a little luck, RC-COLA FC's Migjen Aliaj got control of the ball when Bexhet Cane tried to sneak it across the goal line.

After 52 minutes, Bexhet Cane made it 1-0 with a short kick to the right side. RC-COLA FC's Migjen Aliaj tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot.

If Qazim Qatipi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Qazim Qatipi struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Et`Hem Koçiu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for RC-COLA FC.
