The Blues dominated from the first minute, controlling the pace of the game and constantly creating chances to score.

Just moments before the end of the first half, Klevin Qefalija doubled the lead with a beautiful shot from outside the area, giving Dinamo a comfortable lead for the second half.
Even after the break, Dinamo did not slow down. Ilir Daja's team continued to search for the third goal, not giving Aluminij a chance to return to the game. The result was sealed in the 78th minute, when Fabjan Përdreca successfully completed another action by the Blues and finally closed the accounts of the match. With this success, Dinamo secures the seventh qualification in its history in European competitions and in the third round will face Auda of Latvia, the team that eliminated Steaua Bucharest.
