Tactical Story

Dukagjini employed a high press that suffocated Drita’s build-up play. Drita’s midfield, usually so creative, was forced into long balls. The home side’s discipline in defense meant Drita managed only one shot on target before the penalty. Dukagjini’s counter-attacking threat was constant.

Standout Performers

Dukagjini’s Kujtim Qorri was the hero with his penalty save, while Florim Basha bossed the midfield and scored a stunning goal. For Drita, winger Leotrim Osmani was the only real threat.
