Kaba brace secures away win for Arresimi
Arresimi claimed a 2-0 victory over Shkendija Haracine in the First League on Saturday, a result that keeps both sides level on seven points after five matches. The visitors took all three points despite Shkendija controlling 71 per cent of possession throughout the contest.And here's the thing about this match — the goals came late, and they came from L. Kaba. The striker struck in the 80th minute before adding a second in the 90th to seal the win. By then, Shkendija had already seen their momentum shift, having dominated the ball but failed to convert their territorial advantage.
To be fair, the statistics tell an interesting story. Shkendija registered 106 attacks compared to Arresimi's 68, with eight corners to two. Yet Arresimi showed greater efficiency — six shots on target yielded two goals, while Shkendija's three attempts on target produced nothing.
The match saw three substitutions in the second half, with Shkendija bringing on D. Elezi and A. Mehmed in the 62nd and 76th minutes respectively. Arresimi also made changes, though the specific timings for their replacements weren't recorded. Yellow cards appeared at 40 minutes and 59 minutes for the hosts, with an additional booking for Arresimi in stoppage time.
Both teams remain in the lower half of the table after this round. Shkendija sit sixth and Arresimi seventh, each with two wins, one draw and two defeats. The result means neither side has pulled away from the pack, and the gap between them remains as narrow as ever.
