Trepcza-89 moved into a stronger position in Liga 2's Regular Season with a 2:1 victory over Istogu on 19 September. The fixture, played in the sixth round of the competition, saw the visitors take all three points from Prishtina. Istogu remain rooted in the lower half of the table after six matches, while Trepcza-89 continue their push for the upper reaches.
The result lifts Trepcza-89 further clear of the mid-table pack. They sit third with twelve points from six games — three wins and three draws, still unbeaten. Istogu, meanwhile, are twelfth with six points from two victories and four defeats. The gap between them is now six points, and the away side cannot afford another slip if they intend to challenge for the top places.
Trepcza-89's recent form has been steady rather than spectacular. They drew with Vjosa on 11 September and Rilindja 1974 five days earlier, before beating Ferizaj 1:0 on 28 August. That consistency has kept them in the hunt. Istogu's pattern is harder to read — a win against Liria Prizren on 5 September followed by a heavy 0:5 defeat to Suhareka in August. They lost their last outing 2:0 at home to Ferizaj, and cannot afford another slip if they wish to climb.
The scoreline tells only part of the story. Trepcza-89's away win extends their unbeaten run and puts pressure on the sides above them. Istogu's home record remains poor, and the result leaves them with little margin for error in the rounds ahead. Twelve points separates the two sides after six matches, and the table is beginning to take shape.
