Erzeni wins and remains in Superiore, Korabi for the second time in a row does not achieve the miracle

Erzeni is in the elite again, while Korabi, who had reached this point with so much effort and optimism, did not manage to climb to the Superior Category either this time, as in the decisive match played yesterday with Erzeni e Shijak, he lost after 120 minutes of play and will have to play again next season in the First Division. A spectacular journey for the Dibra team, but the long-awaited miracle did not happen and they will have to do their best next season to return to Superiore. As for Erzen, yesterday he was helped a lot by the fans, but also by experience, as well as a goal scored in extra time, enough to make the difference after a draw that had stuck most of the regular 90-minute match. Undoubtedly, it was a "happy ending" for Erzeni.

The match at "Niko Dovana"

Celebration in Shijak for Erzen's stay in the Superior Category. The Shijaka team managed to defeat Korabin 2-1 after 120 minutes of play in the final of the "play out" held at "Niko Dovana". A goal achieved in the "last breath" by a team that during the first two phases was considered the "Cinderella" of Superiore, but which disappointed in the second half of the season, risking even direct relegation in the last week. As for the chronicle of the match, Erzeni scored first with Sadik in the fourth minute, but in the 20th Korabi countered with Tabak. For whole minutes, despite the superiority of Shijakas, this result remained unchanged, so much so that extra time was needed to determine the winner (two times of 15 minutes). In the 97th minute, Adnard Mehmeti scored the winning goal for Erzen. The players of Korab did everything they could to take the match to penalties, but they found it impossible to score another goal. However, Korabi should be congratulated for the journey it had this season, as it eliminated Tomor and Flamurtari in the "play off" of the First Category.

Coach/Kumbarçe: Korabi did his best, but Erzeni deserved it

Korab's coach, Shpend Kumbarçe, said after the match that he was satisfied with what his team gave, but also that Erzen deserved more to be in the elite. "Honestly, I thank you for this wonderful, very difficult championship. We have done our best. Sport is also luck. Normally I would say congratulations to Erzen's team, in my opinion, they deserved the victory. Knowing President Mziu best in detail, I am sure he will again make a very pretentious team, always with pretensions to climb. Knowing the grit and passion for Korab, I'm sure it will be very strong for next year. Unfortunately for me, it happened in two "play-offs" in a row that we could not pass. But this was fate, we gave what we could give, we got what we deserved", said Kumbarçe. Meanwhile, Erzen's coach, Deliallisi, after the meeting said: The assessment was maximum and it did not come here by chance. I am very satisfied even though we won with difficulty. They are heroes and have made history for Shijak. I trusted them because our families also got into trouble, but in the end it was worth it", he emphasized.
