The Albanian national team of 17-year-olds debuted with a loss in the European qualifiers of this age group.
The Reds were defeated 3-0 by Portugal, which is also the host of this mini-group, as well as the main contender to win this competition.
Ardi Behar's team tried to defend and at the best moment to score with a counterattack, but it didn't turn out that way.
In the first half, the Albanian national team was punished by a deflected shot and that was enough for Portugal to end the first half with an advantage.
In the second half, the Lusitanians scored two more times in three minutes to seal the victory of the match.
After this success, Portugal is in first place together with the Czech Republic, which beat Montenegro 4-0. The next match for the Reds and Blacks is against the Czechs on November 18.
