Liria Prizren defeated Ferizaj 2:1 on Sunday in the first match of the Liga 2 regular season. The result puts the home side further ahead in the table while Ferizaj's struggles continue. Liria now sit in fourth place with seven points from three games, while Ferizaj remain rooted at the bottom with just one point.
There were no dramatic changes in momentum to report, no red cards or controversial decisions. The match played out as a tight contest between two sides with very different trajectories this season. Liria have won two and drawn one, while Ferizaj have lost twice and managed only a single draw.
By then, the visitors had already shown glimpses of resilience in their opening fixtures. A 3:3 draw with Prishtina and a 1:1 result against Malisheva suggested they could compete, but those performances have not translated into victories. Meanwhile, Liria's recent form includes a 4:2 win over Suhareka and a solid 0:0 draw with Llapi.
The home side's position reflects consistency rather than dominance. They have not blown teams away, but they have avoided defeat. Ferizaj, on the other hand, have found themselves constantly chasing games. The gap between the two sides in the table is now six points, and it could widen further if recent patterns hold.
And here's the thing about new seasons — early points matter, but they do not tell the full story. Liria's four points from three games look respectable. Ferizaj's single point needs to be viewed alongside the quality of opposition they have faced. Both sides still have plenty of fixtures to come.
