Ilir Daja after the victory against Skënderbeu: We could have been eliminated, but we scored the goal at the end

Dinamo managed to qualify for the semifinals of the Albanian Cup by defeating Skënderbeu in extra time with a score of 4-0. At the end of the match, the capital team’s coach, Ilir Daja, spoke to the media.

“Naturally, reaching the semifinals is a great achievement. Qualification is important because, with just two or three matches, you can win a trophy that is the second most significant in Albania. We don’t have a full squad, so we are playing with rotated roles.

Even today, Dita played despite being unfit and requested a substitution at the end of regular time after feeling discomfort again. This qualification came at a high cost, and we need to be careful moving forward. Bregu had to be substituted due to an injury concern. He felt muscle discomfort from the first half, while Nani no longer had the energy to continue.

Skënderbeu has a strong squad and had secured a 2-0 victory in the first leg. The players’ motivation is somewhat low when they see the limited alternatives in the squad. In the end, we could have been eliminated, as we only scored the decisive goal at the end of the second half,” said Daja.
