Drita and Llapi met in the opening round of the Superleague regular season on 16 August 2026, and the visitors left with nothing while the hosts celebrated a 5:3 victory. Drita had already extended their unbeaten run to eight matches coming into this fixture, winning both previous outings against Tre Fiori, while Llapi sat ninth in the table with three defeats and zero points to their name.
The home side struck first through B. Krasniqi in the twenty-eighth minute, then doubled their lead when I. Jashari found the net two minutes later. F. Ademi added a third before the interval, and E. Gashijan pulled one back for Llapi on 45+2. And here's the thing — the hosts restored their two-goal advantage with a goal in the forty-seventh minute, though the exact timing there remains unclear.
Llapi showed more fighting spirit after the break. They scored in the fifty-eighth minute to keep things alive, but Drita responded immediately with another goal of their own. By then the visitors were chasing the game rather than shaping it, and they finally levelled on 73 minutes when a penalty opportunity was taken. The score remained poised until 83 minutes, when Llapi netted a second to make it 5:3.
The statistics tell a story of contrasting approaches. Drita held 56 per cent of possession and registered six shots on target, though only one drifted wide. Llapi were more active in the final third with eight attempts on goal, but three of them missed the frame entirely. The visitors earned seven corners compared to four, and their throw-in count reached 18 against 14 for the hosts.
To be fair, the result reflects what each team brought to the pitch. Drita's four goals from six shots on target showed clinical finishing, while Llapi's eight attempts yielded only two goals. The hosts now sit top of the table with six points from two games, having won both matches, while Llapi remain winless after three fixtures and have failed to score in their last outing against Liria Prizren.
