Prishtina moved to within two points of the top spot with a comfortable win at Drenica Skënderaj in the Superleague's fifth matchday. The hosts made it interesting early on, but the visitors took control after the break and ran out 4-1 winners. The result leaves Drenica Skënderaj still without a victory in five games, while Prishtina remain unbeaten and two points behind the leaders.
K. Selmani opened the scoring in the fifth minute, then S. Lushtaku doubled the lead just before the hour mark with a second goal in the 40th minute. Prishtina responded after the interval when D. Halili pulled one back in the 51st minute. A. Diatta converted a penalty in the 57th minute to level matters, and A. Hasani sealed the win with a late strike in the 86th minute.
Drenica Skënderaj dominated possession at 45 per cent and had more attacks overall with 180 compared to the visitors' 118. They also created more chances, registering eight shots on target against Prishtina's five. The hosts earned only two corners to the away side's six, and their clinical finishing was not enough to sustain their advantage.
Prishtina's away end never stopped, and the visitors have one foot in the next phase of the season if they keep this form. They come from a run of three straight wins, including a 4-0 demolition of Llapi last time out. Drenica Skënderaj, meanwhile, have picked up just three points from four draws and one defeat so far.
The scoreline does not tell the full story of the match. The hosts held a high line and pressed aggressively, but Prishtina tightened things up after going behind and punished them from a corner. The table goes out of the window in these games, and the visitors showed that with three goals in the second half.
