Laçi has achieved a significant victory in the fourth week of the "Abissnet Superiore", defeating Vllaznia 2-0 in Kurbin. A success that was decided in the second half and that lifts the Kurbin team to the upper zone of the standings, while for the Shkodra team the situation is becoming increasingly worrying.
First half goalless, Laçi changes pace after the break
The first 45 minutes produced no goals, but the balance was immediately broken at the start of the second half. Laçi returned to the field with a more aggressive approach and only five minutes after the restart found the advantage. Orgi Cena was the one who scored in the 50th minute, giving his team a lead that would prove decisive in the further development of the match. Vllaznia tried to react, but in the 74th minute the situation became significantly complicated for the Shkodran team.
Mehmeti's red card brings protests and disruptions
Adrian Mehmeti was shown a red card by referee Cjapi, a decision that sparked protests from Vllaznia players and staff. The episode was also considered controversial due to the fact that the red card did not come after a foul was flagged in the action. The decision came after fans threw a slop at the midfielder who was taking a throw-in. Vllaznia's sports director, Sinani, also demanded an explanation for the referee's decision, but the red and blues were left with 10 players.
For the object that was thrown from the stands onto the field, Cjapi also requested the evacuation of a part of the stands from where the object had come. The interruption and numerical inferiority made the situation even more difficult for Vllaznia, which now had to seek a draw with one less player.
Traore seals the victory in the end
After the restart, Laçi did not delay in taking advantage of the situation. In the 89th minute, Traore appeared in the right place inside the area and punished the red and blue team for the second time.
The striker's goal practically ended the derby and gave Laç a 2-0 victory, in a match where the moments of the second half changed the entire panorama of the confrontation.
Laçi climbs, Vllaznia remains at the bottom
The three points bring Laçi back to victory and take them to 7 points, in fourth place in the standings. For the Kurbinas, the result is an important boost after four weeks of the championship, while for Qatip Osmani it is a kind of payback after managing to defeat his former team.
On the other hand, Vllaznia continues to have a very difficult start, especially with coach Martini still suspended after the events in Elbasan. Shkodranë remains with only 2 points, in the penultimate place, making it even more necessary to react in the coming weeks.
