Spectators: 175 (Terracing: 132, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ardit Shkodrani made the kick off which started today's match. Liu Liang Gang sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Arzen Babasuli made in the 5th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Valon Laraku immediately put the ball in play. With a little luck, La Candela FC's Jacobo Urdin got control of the ball when Valon Laraku tried to sneak it across the goal line. 0-1 came in the 41st minute when Liu Liang Gang all by himself managed to get straight through the defense and place the ball into the net to the right of Erjuz Marko. Arzen Babasuli hit a great freekick 44 minutes into the match. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

In the 51st minute, Gonzalo Soin made a precise shot to the right of Erjuz Marko. Prishtina FC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2. Erjuz Marko took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Liu Liang Gang, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 61 minutes into the match, Liu Liang Gang had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Erjuz Marko. Prishtina FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Liu Liang Gang was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. The audience thought a goal was coming when Laurenz Goddez got free with Erjuz Marko in the 66th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 72nd minute, Prishtina FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Sebastian Mendoza fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. La Candela FC made a substitution. Guaberto Bitxintxo replaced Gonzalo Soin. Prishtina FC's Erjuz Marko played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Liu Liang Gang in the 92nd minute of play. In the 93rd minute of the match La Candela FC got a corner. Prishtina FC's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Valtteri Snellman ran over to the corner to take the kick. A nice corner shot did that Valtteri Snellman got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Erjuz Marko quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. In the 95th minute of the game Arzen Babasuli made a throw-in which Valon Laraku played forward. La Candela FC played a much better game than Prishtina FC and deserved their victory. The Prishtina FC players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
