Malisheva moved clear at the top of the Superliga table with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Feronikeli in the third round of the regular season on Saturday. The away side never looked threatened after going ahead inside the opening eleven minutes, and Feronikeli never found a way back into the contest. By then the visitors had already established a rhythm that Feronikeli simply could not disrupt.
Kreshnik Uka opened the scoring in the eleventh minute, finishing a move that had been building since Feronikeli lost possession in their own half. The home side tried to respond but Malisheva refused to go away, and Laurent Xhylani doubled the lead just before the interval. And here's the thing — Feronikeli switched to a back three in the second half but never got out of second gear.
The visitors were reduced to ten for a spell after a second-half booking, but Malisheva dealt with the disruption without panic. They kept their shape and waited for the moment to extend their advantage, which came in the fifty-sixth minute when Uka completed his brace. The home side were second to everything in midfield, and Malisheva made sure there were no surprises at the death.
Feronikeli remain bottom of the table with zero points from two defeats, having lost 1-0 to Dukagjini and 3-1 to Gjilani in their opening fixtures. Malisheva sit third with four points from win and draw, having beaten Vushtria 6-1 before drawing 1-1 with Drenica Shkenderaj.
The result ends Feronikeli's hopes of a positive start and gives Malisheva genuine confidence as they look to maintain their position. Three wins from three would put them firmly in control of the early stages of the campaign.
