Pogradeci — Flamurtari, 1st Division

Pogracëd and Flamurtari played out a 0-0 draw in the fourth round of the First Division on Sunday. Neither side could break the deadlock despite both registering two shots on target. To be fair, the match turned into a tactical battle from the outset.

The home side enjoyed 55 per cent possession and launched 97 attacks compared to 86 from their visitors. And here's the thing — despite controlling more of the ball, Pogracëd managed only one shot on target. Flamurtari, with 45 per cent possession, found the target twice.

Discipline proved uneven across the ninety minutes. Flamurtari collected four yellow cards while Pogracëd received just one. By then it was clear the visitors were intent on disrupting the home side's rhythm rather than building their own attack.

The result keeps Pogracëd at the top of the table with eight points from four games. Two wins and two draws without a defeat establishes them as early favourites. The old head settled them down against a stubborn opposition.

Flamurtari remain in eleventh place on three points, having drawn three times and lost once. They have not won since the season began and will need to find more cutting edge away from home.
