Cup of Albania/ Partizani wins, but Vllaznia goes to the semi-finals

Two weeks ago in Shkodër, Vllaznia defeated Partizan in the first quarter-final match between them, taking a step forward towards qualification. In fact, nothing was certain as the 90 minutes of return would have to be played and Partizan did its best to reverse the situation of the first duel, but it did not succeed completely. He won the match, but it was not enough and as a result the red team did not qualify. Vllaznia had the right to score more goals. Thus, the reds defeated Vllaznina 1-0 in the return match, but it is precisely the Shkodrans who advance among the top four thanks to the success in the first meeting with the result 3-1 in "Loro Boriçi." Coach Kolela's men played a very good match, produced numerous scoring chances and controlled possession for the most part. After a series of attempts in the first minutes, Partizan found the way to the net in the 25th minute through Alfred Mensah. The striker was in the right place to take advantage of a misunderstanding of the Shkodra backline and scored with the goal empty. This goal gave hope for a reversal. Demat continued with continuous attacks in the second half of the meeting and in the 62nd minute wasted an ideal opportunity with Tedi Cara, with the latter forcing goalkeeper Qarri to do a miracle by sending the ball over the crossbar. Partizan's celebration lasted very little, only three minutes from the end of regular time, as Cara's goal was canceled as a result of a foul caused by Da Silva against Erdenis Gurishte. This is after VAR became the protagonist, helping the main Barjamaj.
