First Category/ Flagman succeeds against Apollonia, Korabi eliminates Tomor and has hope for Superior

There were no small surprises yesterday in the "play-off" matches in the First Category, where, as is known, the duels to determine a team that will then face the eighth place in Superiore, for the third team that climbs to elites, mark an interesting phase of the season and of course a surprise guaranteed by the race formula. Yesterday there were two matches, where the teams that will play each other in the end were determined to find the club that will face a Superior team. The 8th place in the Superior Category is currently held by Erzeni, with 39 points, but when two laps remain from the end of the race, this position may suffer a shock, as Kukësi and Teuta are at risk.

The lucky ensign in front of Apollonia

Flamurtari has been one of the favorite teams to climb to the Superiore this season, but the Volyn team made mistakes in the direct matches with Dinamo and Skënderbeu, plus some other mistakes along the way, which cost them not to achieve the objective directly. However, he still has a chance from the "play-off" and yesterday, thanks to the luck that was with him, he overcame the first obstacle. Thus, Flamurtari draws 1-1 with Apolonia in the semi-final match of the "play off" of the First Category and passes to the final thanks to the ranking higher than Fierak at the end of the regular season. In fact, the red and blacks from Vlora were very lucky, since at the end of the match, when the score was 1-1, Apolonia missed an 11-meter penalty with Asllanaj. Earlier, Pedro Augusto had scored for Flamurtari (the same footballer missed an 11-meter penalty later) and Antoni for Fierak.

Korabi eliminates Tomori and has hope for Superior

There was no way it could happen differently with Dibran, who have invested quite a bit in their team in recent years, so their qualification for the next round against Tomor of Berat should be seen as a process of growth of Korab of Peshkopia. The surprise happened in the next "play off" challenge between Tomor of Berat and Korab of Peshkopia. In the 76th minute, in the course of a free kick, Keko manages to send the ball into the net, giving his team the lead. This episode decided the fate of this meeting, giving Korabi the right to continue the fight towards Superior. The winner of the final, Flamurtari-Korabi, will play against the eighth place of Superior for staying in the elite.

Dovedan leaves Apollonia

After the sensitive "play-off" matches, the coach of Apolonia, Vejlko Dovedan, has left the direction of Apolonia. It is learned that the decision was made after the elimination from this stage, where they faced Flamurtari, even though the match ended in a 1-1 draw. After the match, he stated that he did not know where his future would be and that he would talk to the president of the club. The coaches of other teams also risk a lot if the objectives are not achieved in these last matches of the season. There was also movement on the benches in Superiore, where Erzeni removed Kapllani a few days ago.
