Albania - Super League round 18, Flamurtari – Vllaznia 1-1

The tie between Flamurtari and Vllaznia has left both sides unsatisfied. The hosts have left two precious points on the pitch; points that are absolutely vital in the fight for survival. Coach Ruci appeared optimistic after the match even though his team had not reached its full potential and after 18 weeks finds itself in the 7th position tied with Besa and Apolonia. Flamurtari’s goal came late in the match, with Nenaj in the 79th minute and Bejzade tying shot in the 90th was devastating for the fans. As the end of the season approaches, matters are getting more and more complicated for the teams fighting for survival. Next week Flamurtari will travel to Kavaja to play Besa and its striker Arben Nuhiu who looked great in his debut with the team. Throughout the game Flamurtari was incisive but Vllaznia was proficient in defending the goal and not letting the single point slip away. Ultimately Vllaznia’s cynicism won and Flamurtari will have to wait another week to take a breath of relief.
