Laurent Hamiti kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. Qazim Qatipi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 11th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Qazim Qatipi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Bjordi Bulku fell near the penalty area in the 23rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Zall-Reç's protests and gave Bjordi Bulku a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Zall-Reç's Bjordi Bulku got a free kick in the 23rd minute. The RC-COLA FC fans' excitement grew in the 24th match minute when RC-COLA FC's Vedat Papa looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Laurent Hamiti received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Migjen Aliaj tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Laert Berati had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The referee showed Jonuz Xaka the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Jonuz Xaka kicked well hit freekick during the 34th minute of the match. After recieving a nice pass, Zall-Reç's Frederik Osmeni tried to score from far away in the 35th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar.

Migjen Aliaj took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Laurent Hamiti, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Laurent Hamiti sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 45th minute, Laert Berati managed to get in a good position for a shot. Zall-Reç's supporters rose to their feet, but Laert Berati was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Migjen Aliaj breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Qazim Qatipi stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Vedat Papa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Vedat Neziri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nevjon Drizaj took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 54th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Vedat Neziri. Zall-Reç's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Visar Guga's late challenge caught a RC-COLA FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Visar Guga helped the player get up and apologised. In the 56th match minute, Zall-Reç was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Visar Guga to maneuver through the defense. After a defensive mix-up in Zall-Reç's zone, Qazim Qatipi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Vedat Neziri came out of the goal and Qazim Qatipi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. RC-COLA FC's Migjen Aliaj played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Laert Berati in the 64th minute of play. Vedat Papa scored 2-0 in the 70th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Vedat Neziri, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. A collision led to RC-COLA FC getting a freekick after 79 minutes play. Jonuz Xaka hit a great ball. Laert Berati struck a weak shot in the 83rd minute. Migjen Aliaj didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Zall-Reç. If Laert Berati had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 87th minute, Rakip Purba hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.
