Devolli’s team played a very good match in Bilisht, where they faced Delvina’s team, which proved to be a very strong side with quality players, as well as a team showing the coach’s tactical influence.

However, Devolli showed they were a step ahead of their opponents, despite the fact that two penalties were awarded against them. The Devolli players found the strength to equalize twice from a disadvantage.

Nevertheless, there were also contestations, especially regarding the first penalty. According to the Devolli team, it was an action from the right side, where the player who sent the ball into play was clearly in an offside position.

However, assistant referee Emanuela Rustaj, despite being close to the action, allowed the game to continue. This moment was strongly contested by the Bilisht team, but in the end, they accepted the decision. It was coach Trifon Meraku who declared after the match: “The team showed grit and a desire to play. We played under disadvantageous conditions, but there we showed even more than what we can do. I have objections to the first penalty for the offside position. We had two absences in this match, and Topllari was dealing with a flu condition. Nevertheless, we will look ahead to continue pursuing our objective.” CREATED by:
