Skënderbeu–Vora started calmly in the opening minutes, with both teams mostly circulating the ball in midfield. The first chance of the match came in the 5th minute when Karica, playing for the visitors from Vora, took a shot, but the ball went wide of the home team’s goal.

Afterward, Skënderbeu also tried to advance several times into Vora’s penalty area. A good moment for the home side came in the 21st minute when, following a corner kick, Vaskuez, who had come forward from defense, failed to direct the ball on target, sending it just wide.

Another promising moment for Skënderbeu occurred in the 24th minute when Nasr shot from the left side of the attack. The ball was deflected and came back to the Egyptian, who struck again, but the defense cleared it for a corner. Vora’s goal was saved, and at this stage, Skënderbeu seemed to have taken control of the game.

Bardhi attempted a precise shot in the 40th minute, but the ball went wide. In the final minute of the half, a combination between Nasr, Estrela, and Tayo ended with the latter alone in front of goal, unable to deflect the ball into Vora’s net. Ultimately, the first 45 minutes ended scoreless at 0-0.

The second half began much like the first, with few chances and limited attacking play from both sides. Up to the 60th minute, there were only a few tense moments on the field, one yellow card for Bardhi, and no shots on target for either team.

Vora had a golden opportunity in the 62nd minute when Bajramaj dribbled past the home defense and struck powerfully with his left foot, but the ball went just wide of Alia’s left post. Skënderbeu escaped conceding a goal by mere inches. At this stage, Vora appeared to be in control, and in the 70th minute, Dajan Shehi, coming up from defense, took two shots, both blocked by Skënderbeu’s backline.

Both coaches then made substitutions to freshen up their squads, but the following minutes produced nothing of note, and both teams seemed content with the goalless scoreline.

The match at the “Skënderbeu” stadium ultimately ended 0-0 in this friendly between the home side and Vora.
