FC Feronikeli 74 produced a controlled and clinical display to beat KF Dukagjini 3-0 in the Kosovo Superliga on 25 October 2026. At the Stadiumi Rexhep Rexhepi in Drenas, the hosts combined patient build-up with sharp finishing to secure a comfortable victory.

Feronikeli take control

The home side started with confidence and dictated the tempo from midfield. Dukagjini defended in a compact block, but Feronikeli’s quick passing and movement between the lines created space early on. The breakthrough came in the 12th minute when Ardit Gashi finished from close range after a well-worked move down the right.

Feronikeli doubled their lead in the 53rd minute through Dren Berisha, who struck a powerful effort from just outside the box after Dukagjini failed to clear a corner properly. The third goal arrived in the 81st minute, with substitute Endrit Krasniqi finishing a fast counter-attack to put the result beyond doubt.

Key moments

• 12th minute – 1-0: Ardit Gashi opened the scoring with a close-range finish after a slick right-sided move.
• 53rd minute – 2-0: Dren Berisha doubled the lead with a powerful strike from the edge of the area.
• 81st minute – 3-0: Endrit Krasniqi completed the scoring on the counter-attack.

Dukagjini had brief spells of possession but struggled to create clear chances. Their best opportunity came shortly before half-time from a set-piece, but the Feronikeli goalkeeper dealt with it comfortably. After the second goal, the visitors’ resistance faded, and Feronikeli managed the closing stages with maturity.

Tactical story

Feronikeli’s midfield trio controlled the centre of the pitch, winning second balls and allowing the full-backs to push forward. Their pressing was well coordinated, and they consistently forced Dukagjini into sideways passes rather than forward progress. In possession, Feronikeli were patient, waiting for openings rather than forcing the ball into crowded areas.

Dukagjini’s defensive plan worked for the first ten minutes, but once the opening goal went in, the visitors had to come out more. That created space for Feronikeli to exploit, especially in transition. The third goal was a perfect example of their counter-attacking efficiency.

Standout performers

Ardit Gashi set the tone with the early goal and was a constant threat with his movement. Dren Berisha controlled the midfield and added a spectacular second goal. Endrit Krasniqi made an impact from the bench, while the Feronikeli defence deserved credit for a clean sheet and a disciplined performance against Dukagjini’s occasional counter-attacks.

What the result means

The three points strengthen Feronikeli 74’s position in the Kosovo Superliga standings and give them momentum for the weeks ahead. A 3-0 home win also sends a clear message about their attacking quality and defensive organisation. For KF Dukagjini, the defeat highlights the need for more creativity in possession and better protection when defending transitions. They will look to respond in their next fixture, but this was a night that belonged firmly to Feronikeli.
