Përrenjas Stadiumi
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Saimir Turshinka kicked off to start the match. The supporters of Lumas KF booed when Përrenjas was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Irjat Brahja didn't get a good kick on the ball. 7 minutes into the match, Përrenjas's goal looked a bit too open when Edi Dardanet came free, but Rional Jahja reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 10 minutes, Margarit Kanani managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Përrenjas's supporters crossed their fingers, but Margarit Kanani was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Margarit Kanani was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 11th minute. Përrenjas's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. The audience thought a goal was coming when Artur Xoxe got free with Olgert Miho in the 15th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Olgert Miho made an important save on a dangerous shot by Artur Xoxe in the 16th minute. Olgert Miho took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Margarit Kanani, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 21st match minute, Përrenjas was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Renato Qyra to maneuver through the defense. Margarit Kanani fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Olgert Miho having to interfere. If Margarit Kanani had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 32 played minutes Përrenjas got a freekick which was hit by Renato Qyra. In the 40th minute, Margarit Kanani got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Olgert Miho stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Margarit Kanani's shot from short distance in the 42nd minute. The referee felt a red card was in order, 47 minutes into the game, when Akil Zjani put in a rough tackle. In the 46th minute, one of Lumas KF:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Lumas KF. Sali Petrela placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out! 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 hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Margarit Kanani to strike the kick off in the second half. Olgert Miho made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Artur Xoxe in the 62nd minute of play. Jonad Dhamo charged in rather forcefully in the 63rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Jonad Dhamo the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 63rd match minute, Lumas KF was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jonad Dhamo to maneuver through the defense. In the 65th minute Margarit Kanani shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Olgert Miho saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

In the 71st minute, Margarit Kanani got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 73 minutes into the match, Lumas KF's goal looked a bit too open when Margarit Kanani came free, but Olgert Miho reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 77th minute, Margarit Kanani hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Edi Dardanet fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rional Jahja having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Lumas KF's zone, Idlir Dervishi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Olgert Miho came out of the goal and Idlir Dervishi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Jonad Dhamo hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Margarit Kanani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Olgert Miho tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 94th minute Artur Xoxe shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Olgert Miho saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
