Kastrioti caused one of the biggest surprises of the week, defeating Skënderbeu from Korça 3-2 at home in a match full of rhythm, goals, and emotions from start to finish.

The visitors from Korça were the first to find the net in the 27th minute through Abubakar, who took advantage of the ball coming from the home goalkeeper after a saved penalty to put Skënderbeu ahead.

Kastrioti’s response was immediate and fierce.

Just a few minutes later, striker Kapllani took the stage, scoring two spectacular goals in three minutes, in the 34th and 37th minutes. His experience and instinct inside the box made the difference, turning the match in favor of the home team.

In the second half, Kastrioti continued playing with the same intensity, and in the 51st minute, Hoxha scored the third goal, temporarily sealing a well-deserved victory. Skënderbeu tried to respond in the remaining minutes, increasing pressure in the attacking zone, but could not change the outcome.

In the end, the 3-2 result gives Kastrioti three very important points and halts the positive run of the Korça side. The Krutan players showed character, strength, and true fighting spirit, proving they are a team capable of competing with any opponent in this championship.

Kastrioti’s coach stated after the match that his team is building an identity and that the win against a team like Skënderbeu is a major motivation for the future. On the other hand, the Korça players appeared disappointed and are expected to analyze the defensive mistakes that cost them dearly.
