The match starts with excitement at “Air Albania”, and it is Partizani that, in less than 120 seconds (about 2 minutes), takes advantage of a good attacking opportunity, but Mba misses in front of the goalkeeper. 

Afterwards, the white and reds begin to gain ground, opening with passes from left to right but failing to reach the red goal area. Minutes pass, and the second opportunity again comes from the reds, where Rrapaj, in the 12th minute, almost scores but shoots wide. 

It took 16 minutes for Skënderbeu to have their first chance. Dean Liço takes a free kick, but the ball is blocked by the defensive wall. 

Then the game is calm with ball circulation, and Skënderbeu gradually gains composure, but by the 25th minute, the score remains 0-0. 

Again, Partizani creates a golden opportunity as Bintsuka almost sends the ball into the net, but fortunately for Skënderbeu, it goes wide. 

In the 34th minute, there was tension in Skënderbeu's area, and referee Enea Jorgji gave two yellow cards to the home team and one to Alia from Skënderbeu. 

The minutes are calm again until five minutes from the end of this half, when Bintsuka shoots over the crossbar. There was nothing noteworthy in the remaining minutes, and the first 45 minutes ended 0-0. Skënderbeu will now play all out in the second half of the match. The second half starts without substitutions from either coach, with Gvozdenović trusting the same players he fielded in the first half. 

Partizani scores at the start of the second half, as a mistake by Skënderbeu’s defense allows Bintsuka to head in and score the opening goal. 1-0 for Partizani. 

After conceding the goal, Skënderbeu makes two substitutions, bringing on Shaqe and Djantu, but until the 60th minute, there is no change in play. 

Partizani's Sota heads the ball over the crossbar. Skënderbeu struggles to find their form during these minutes, leaving spaces again for the Reds, where Mensah shoots in the 67th minute but misses. 

Skënderbeu only remembers to take a shot in the 75th minute, as Gerco’s shot is saved by Partizani’s goalkeeper. 

The reds manage their lead well, and Skënderbeu finds it very difficult to reach Partizani's goal. 

In the end, Skënderbeu fails, and Partizani, after today's victory, is in the final, while Skënderbeu will now play for third and fourth place.
