LEBRON's Raimundo Millan got a good chance for a goal in the 9th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 16 minutes into the game, Valentin Goi was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. LEBRON's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave K.F TIRANA the free kick. After a rather tough play, LEBRON's Valentin Goi got a free kick in the 16th minute. In the 21st minute Cecilio Louis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Erzen Sadikllari saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Vionis Spahiu during the 22nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 23rdth minute of the game Feliciano Federigo who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but K.F TIRANA's Erzen Sadikllari was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 25th minute, Cecilio Louis left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The LEBRON fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Cecilio Louis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Erzen Sadikllari showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Feliciano Federigo, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. 33 minutes into the match, LEBRON's goalkeeper Aquilino Eron had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nandi Sinani.

Feliciano Federigo scored 0-2 in the 45th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Erzen Sadikllari, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Cecilio Louis stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After 51 minutes, Kozma Kurti mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the K.F TIRANA and the LEBRON players grew even worse after the yellow card. Kozma Kurti hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. Valentin Goi struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute. Erzen Sadikllari didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for LEBRON. Cecilio Louis received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Erzen Sadikllari tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cirilo Mincho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Erzen Sadikllari having to interfere. In the 64th minute, LEBRON's Feliciano Federigo seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Feliciano Federigo the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of LEBRON protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Feliciano Federigo had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 65th match minute, LEBRON was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Feliciano Federigo to maneuver through the defense. When Argetim Starova came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the K.F TIRANA 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 Argetim Starova couldn't finish the play. The supporters of K.F TIRANA booed when LEBRON was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cecilio Louis didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 69 played minutes, K.F TIRANA's Argetim Starova shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Aquilino Eron came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in K.F TIRANA reached it. Aquilino Eron took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vionis Spahiu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 73 minutes into the match, K.F TIRANA's goalkeeper Erzen Sadikllari had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Cecilio Louis. In the 77th minute, Cecilio Louis made a precise shot to the right of Erzen Sadikllari. K.F TIRANA's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. If Cecilio Louis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. LEBRON's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
