The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Kıraç Ak made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tedi Lulo in the 5th minute of play. Tedi Lulo struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Kıraç Ak didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for LOS BLANCOS. Kıraç Ak stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Tedi Lulo's shot from short distance in the 19th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Paulin Shahini in the 24th minute of play forced LOS BLANCOS's goalkeeper Everardo Mingo to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. FC Partizan Tirana's Kıraç Ak proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 27th minute of the match, managed to save FC Partizan Tirana from getting a goal against them. 35 minutes into the match, FC Partizan Tirana's goalkeeper Kıraç Ak had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Tedi Lulo. With a little luck, FC Partizan Tirana's Kıraç Ak got control of the ball when Tedi Lulo tried to sneak it across the goal line. Tedi Lulo did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-0 to the left of a surprised Kıraç Ak 38 minutes into the match. Qemal Isai was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 42 minutes into the match. Everardo Mingo had in the 46thth minute some difficulties stopping Davud Salihi's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. 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 home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Laze Lumani was the one to do the kick off. When Shpend Kule fell near the penalty area in the 53rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC Partizan Tirana's protests and gave Shpend Kule a yellow card for diving instead. LOS BLANCOS's Baki Zhobro was substituted for Tedi Lulo. In the 55th minute, Shpend Kule hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. LOS BLANCOS's attack was well implemented in the 57th minute, but when Baki Zhobro was about to shoot he didn't get a good hit on the ball and it hit the crossbar and flew over. Goal Kick. When Baki Zhobro came up free with the goalie in the 63rd minute, the LOS BLANCOS 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 Baki Zhobro couldn't finish the play. After 69 played minutes LOS BLANCOS got a freekick which was hit by Baki Zhobro. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Mevlan Mile in the 72nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Kıraç Ak saved FC Partizan Tirana from getting behind. In the 77th minute, Baki Zhobro left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The LOS BLANCOS fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0. Baki Zhobro fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kıraç Ak having to interfere. Paulin Shahini could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 86th minute of the match, but Everardo Mingo made a huge save. In the 87th minute of the match FC Partizan Tirana got a corner. LOS BLANCOS's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Davud Salihi ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner ended in Davud Salihi almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but LOS BLANCOS's Everardo Mingo did a great save. When the referee ended the match the LOS BLANCOS players were able to celebrate. They had won a fair victory and recieved the ovations of their fans.
