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.

Maltin Karafili fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Et`Hem Koçiu having to interfere. After having played for 10 minutes, Qatip Tona managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Gorë KS's supporters crossed their fingers, but Qatip Tona was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Qatip Tona received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Et`Hem Koçiu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
