The triumph highlights the strength of Partizani’s youth academy, as the team managed to outclass their opponents despite facing significant tactical challenges during the match.
Banushi and Qokthi Score Decisive Goals at Air Albania Stadium
The match deadlock was broken late in the first half when Partizani's Banushi found the back of the net in the 43rd minute. The opening goal provided Partizani with a crucial psychological advantage just before the halftime whistle.
The second half belonged to Qokthi, who delivered a standout performance by scoring twice. His goals in the 76th and 90th minutes sealed the 3-0 victory, preventing any potential comeback from the Durrës-based side.
Partizani Overcomes Qamili Red Card to Maintain Control of the Match
A major turning point in the final occurred shortly after the opening goal when Partizani player Qamili received a straight red card. The dismissal left the Tirana squad playing with only 10 men for the entirety of the second half.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Partizani's coaching staff adjusted the team's tactical shape efficiently. Teuta failed to capitalize on the extra player, as Partizani maintained defensive solidity and remained highly dangerous on the counter-attack.
