Definitely a fishy match.

I guess some habits are hard to let go for Albanian teams...

Can we ban the teams outside of Tirana from competing in Europe? Not just Skenderbeu but all of them. We know they're just selling matches. This shit always happens. Do well in first leg to raise odds, and throw the game in the 2nd.

What have the clubs from Tirana done in Europe? Imo, FSHF should probably start giving bonuses based on coefficient points clubs bring in the UEFA qualifying rounds, maybe then these clubs will invest and get better results in Europe!

The best team in Albania loses 5-0 to a team from Iceland. What a joke this league and country is.

Atleast Shekndija and Drita advanced. They both have a decent chance qualifying for the Conference league with the new format via champions path.

There is only 1 club in Albanian history: FK Skenderbeu. Everyone else has been a disgrace.

The worst part is that that the Conference League was created for leagues like the Albanian, and yet they can't even take advantage of that.

Having said that, I'm curious to see Dinamo City.. Apparently they are the most financially stable club and might have a project. Ilir Daja (although fixes games) is also an expert at qualifying.

They don't sell games. I've seen this shit from Teuta, Vllaznia, and now Egnatia. I've never seen it from the Tirana clubs.

If they lose, they lose because they're bad, not cause they're trying to make a quick buck from bookies.

Tirana clubs are just shit and badly managed. This is why I hope Dinamo is a little different.

Skuka missed a late penalty to qualify partizani. He hit it exactly like Manaj, same spot too and it was saved. This is a player who returned to Albania because he failed in Slovenia, French 2nd division, etc.

Tbh, football in Albania is very bad overall and the best players in the league are either from Kosova or Africa. The Tirana clubs might be richer, but Vlora and Shkodra used to be cities from where the better footballers used to come. Imo, Vllaznia and Flamurtari falling off, correlates with Albania not being able to produce decent footballers. You only need a couple of good football academies to produce a couple of decent footballers every year.
