Tirana has managed to get a very important victory in the final weeks of the championship, defeating the reigning champions Egnatia 3-1.
In a "Selman Stërmasi" stadium filled with enthusiasm, the white and blue team showed character by taking three points that could weigh as much as staying in the Superior Category itself.
The match started quite well for the home team, who found the net in the 12th minute through Tabek.
Although the goal was initially disallowed for offside, the VAR system corrected the linesman's decision, ruling the action legal and sparking celebrations on the stadium steps.
The second half started with a blow for the capital team, when Buric took advantage of a lethargy in the white-blue defense to temporarily tie the game at 1-1. However, Tirana did not break and reacted immediately.
It was Redon Xhixha who restored the advantage by scoring accurately from the penalty spot, while a few minutes later, Halili, with a strong header, sealed the final score at 3-1.
For Tirana, this victory comes at the most critical moment of the season. Currently, the white and blue team are in eighth place with 31 points, the same as Vora in seventh place, making the race to escape the danger zone more open than ever.
On the other hand, Egnatia suffers a false step that keeps them in second place, but without being able to get closer to the leader. The challenges for Tirana do not end here, as the next match is a derby against Dinamo on April 17, another "final" that will determine the fate of the most titled club in the country.
