Kimet Shehu yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-1. The nice shot from Claudinei Godoi in the 20thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Kimet Shehu had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. 25 minutes into the match, Gabriel Xavier notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of POGRADECARI FK's Kimet Shehu.

Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal.
