Përmet Stadioni
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Emilian Kapri took the kick off in the first half of the match. AF Luftetari's Veton Gegprifti proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 4th minute of the match, managed to save AF Luftetari from getting a goal against them. Artjon Bekollari stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Aleksandër Hajdari's shot from short distance in the 7th minute. After 12 played minutes Përmet got a freekick which was hit by Hetlem Tupa. Eqerem Hysi took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 13th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Artjon Bekollari. Përmet's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 16 minutes into the match, AF Luftetari's goal looked a bit too open when Nuçi Majko came free, but Veton Gegprifti reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ermal Fakaj hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. 26 minutes into the match, Aleksandër Hajdari notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Përmet's Artjon Bekollari. Artjon Bekollari was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Fatmir Mara hit a great freekick 28 minutes into the match. Veton Gegprifti made a fantastic save in the 30th minute, when Nuredin Grabocka sent off a good shot on target. After having played for 31 minutes, Nuçi Majko managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Përmet's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nuçi Majko was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience was convinced that Emilian Kapri's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Artjon Bekollari was relentless in the 35th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nuçi Majko in the 37th minute of play forced AF Luftetari's goalkeeper Veton Gegprifti to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Nuredin Grabocka struck a weak shot in the 38th minute. Veton Gegprifti didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Përmet. The supporters of Përmet booed when AF Luftetari was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 40 match minutes in a wonderful position. Luan Krasi didn't get a good kick on the ball. 48 minutes into the match, Përmet's goal looked a bit too open when Aleksandër Hajdari came free, but Artjon Bekollari reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After the first half AF Luftetari were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Nuçi Majko made a kick off. When Vedat Shehu fell near the penalty area in the 56th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored AF Luftetari's protests and gave Vedat Shehu a yellow card for diving instead. Aleksandër Hajdari sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. AF Luftetari's Emilian Kapri got a good chance for a goal in the 62nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Nuredin Grabocka received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Veton Gegprifti tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nuredin Grabocka fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Veton Gegprifti having to interfere. 72 minutes into the game, Emilian Kapri was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. AF Luftetari's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Përmet the free kick. A collision led to AF Luftetari getting a freekick after 72 minutes play. Emilian Kapri hit a great ball. During the 82nd minute of the match Luan Krasi completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Luan Krasi a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. Nuredin Grabocka received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Veton Gegprifti tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nuçi Majko fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Veton Gegprifti having to interfere. If Nuçi Majko had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Përmet's zone, Aleksandër Hajdari stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Artjon Bekollari came out of the goal and Aleksandër Hajdari tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 92nd match minute, Përmet was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ermal Fakaj to maneuver through the defense. In the 93rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Përmet's goalkeeper Artjon Bekollari, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched AF Luftetari eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
