Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Elis Mehmetaj made the kick off which started today's match. Gjon Skënderis short, quick shot in the 4thth minute got Medin Berisha to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Kukësi 's Fatos Alibali played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Arenc Merxho in the 7th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Kukësi 's Klesti Hoxha got a free kick in the 12th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Arenc Merxho managed to get in a good position for a shot. Poroçan KS's supporters rose to their feet, but Arenc Merxho was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Fatos Alibali breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 15th minute of the match Aldo Plaku shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Fatos Alibali showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball.

Gerond Çorbaxhiu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 26th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Medin Berisha took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Elis Mehmetaj, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the Kukësi defense, Gerond Çorbaxhiu kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Fatos Alibali. The Kukësi fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Fatos Alibali should have stopped the shot. Medin Berisha showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Elis Mehmetaj in the 37th minute of the match. After 39 minutes, Arenc Merxho made it 0-2 with a short kick to the right side. Kukësi 's Fatos Alibali tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. If Gerond Çorbaxhiu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Çelik Purba kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. 70 minutes into the match, Elis Mehmetaj notched a goal, 2-3, to the right of Poroçan KS's Medin Berisha. Medin Berisha was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Klesti Hoxha in the 74th minute of play forced Poroçan KS's goalkeeper Medin Berisha to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
