After having played for 41 minutes, Vajkal Purba managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

In the 47th minute, Vajkal Purba made a precise shot to the right of Progon Lamce. Temal's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1.

In the 67th minute Ledion Vato shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Esat Nasti saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Bardhi Arapi came up free with the goalie in the 77th minute, the Kukës FK fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Bardhi Arapi couldn't finish the play. Progon Lamce took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bardhi Arapi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
