They are not run any different. They were just lucky in the past few years because they had a collection of decent players with good chemistry.

They got extremely lucky that Prishtina couldn't played on Europe because of Covid tests, than debts were accumulated and that's how they got Thaci, Zyba, Korenica and Dellova for free. If you pay attention since 2022 their transfers have been horrendous, almost every signing they made was offloaded after 6 months. Ballkani never was able to replace players as Krasniqi, Baftiu, Gripshi etc because they don't really spend and they are only focused on free transfers.

Ibrahimoglu puts Egnatia up 1-0 in Elbasan!

Banja Luka have 0 talent but they are definitely the much smarter team.

Egnatia too many bonehead mistakes. Don't be surprised if they get another red card in this game.

Their striker Lukic isn’t bad..

Big, physical guy, good aerially, decent technically too.

Borac scored very lucky goal, Egnatia deserved to be 2-3 goals ahead.

Egnatia 2:1 just as i tuned in.

Most impressive thing about Egnatia is their recruitment. I don't think they will be able to keep Ibrahimoglou, probably best player of the league . Xhemajli is also class player for this level, reminds me Mavraj how he plays, Ahmetaj also had very good game. I do believe they have more quality than they show under this manager but still i hope they qualify, their narco owner is passionate about football and is investing seriously.

Bye Bye Egnatia and don't ever come back again please. They would have been trashed by PAOK in the next round anyway so better f*** off.

On the bright side they get to avoid PAOK. That would be a massacre.

Llapi got penalised by goal in the last minute which was clearly foul. It will be tough but i don't think it's impossible to beat them. It will be interesting to watch Gashijan from first minute.
