Feronikeli took a 3-1 win over Vushtria in the seventh round of the Superliga on Saturday. The hosts finished five points clear of the visitors, who remain winless after seven matches.
L. Kresimir opened the scoring in the thirty-eighth minute before adding a second in the sixty-fourth. L. Dobratiqi made it three in the sixty-eighth, and the visitors pulled one back in the seventieth.
By then Feronikeli had already played the second half a man up in spirit, even if not in numbers. They carried the side through a patchy run that had seen them lose three of their last five league games.
Feronikeli enjoyed 59 per cent possession and fired seven shots on target, while Vushtria managed only two. The visitors drew more corners, but the shots tell the story of a team that played the second half a man up and could not respond.
Our prediction had backed the hosts at 48 per cent confidence, and that came through. Feronikeli have nothing to lose at this stage and took the chance to push further away from the bottom half.
With the win Feronikeli move to six points in eighth place, while Vushtria stay level on zero points in tenth. The gap between them is now five points, and the visitors have hit a wall.
