Tirana "resurrects" amidst suffering, 1 goal for 3 points against

Bledi Shkëmbi's Tirana 2.0 has started to show signs of life. After a draw in the derby against Partizan, the white and blue team managed to get a very important victory today at the "Elbasan Arena", where they faced Skënderbeu.

The Capitals triumphed with a score of 1-0 and managed to climb to seventh place, temporarily leaving the cold zone.

It was Bajrovic who dictated the game at the end, scoring from the penalty spot.

After the match, Tirana coach Bledi Shkëmbi criticized his players despite the victory.

"We suffered a lot during the week from the absences. We played a match, not to say weak, because we got 3 points. One of the least good matches, at least under my leadership in Tirana. Fate has given us back what it has not given us in any other match. We gave away a lot of balls, a lot of simple passes. We suffered in the second half from the mistakes of the first half, we lost the ball quickly and they quickly. The desire for 3 points only came when we took control of the ball", said Shkëmbi.

Meanwhile, Skënderbeg coach Ernest Gjoka seems to have expressed reservations about the verdict, focusing on the penalty episode that led to the only goal of the match.

"The match was somewhat equal, which was decided on penalties. It was a very important match that we had to fight for everything. This loss puts us under a lot of psychological pressure. We would continue to be in the ideas of the first half, maybe there were some difficult moments. We have had our problems with Nikaj, it is difficult to come in the best form. We are trying to give the best possible with the organic we have. The situation is getting worse, the team tried to give the maximum, mathematically we will be in the game. The team will give the maximum, hopefully next time we are lucky to get a penalty too", said Gjoka.

Meanwhile, in other matches of the 25th week of the Super League, Laçi triumphed at home 3-0 against Teuta. The main protagonist in this match was William Cordeiro Melo, who scored two goals for the black and whites.

Egnatia continued its positive performance in the championship by defeating Partizan 2-0 and now leads the championship with 48 points.

Dinamo and Vllaznia did not go beyond a goalless draw, while in the other match, Bylis and Elbasan shared one point, scoring 1 goal each.

With these results, Skanderbeg's team from Korça remains in last place, while Teuta drops to ninth and Bylisi is one place above. (A2 Televizion)
