The match held at Bank Respublika Arena started with a fast pace from our team. Dominating possession, our players worked to break through the opponent's defense. Their efforts paid off in the 42nd minute when a penalty was awarded after a foul on Musa Gurbanli, and Redon Xhixha converted it into a goal.

The second half also saw our team maintain the upper hand. However, the opponent tried to create dangerous moments through quick counterattacks. Sabah managed to score the equalizer during one of these attempts. Despite efforts from both sides in the remaining minutes, no further goals were scored.
