Skënderbeu wakes up in Korça and with Bismark's two goals, they overturn Elbasan. The Korça team has finally broken the negative series in the "Abissnet Superiore", triumphing 2-1 over Elbasan in the seventh week. After the disadvantage created by Mazari's goal, Bismark took over everything, scoring twice and giving Juljan Ahmataj his first three points in the championship.
Valuable reversal, Skënderbeu takes a breath after difficult weeks
Skënderbeu have found their first victory of the season in the Albanian football elite, defeating Elbasan 2-1 in Korça. In a hard-fought encounter, the locals showed character to react after the goal conceded and turn the score in their favor.
The team led by Juljan Ahmataj needed such a result, not only for the points, but also to gain confidence in the rest of the championship. The triumph came through a single protagonist in the offensive department: Bismark, who with his double became the decider of the challenge.
For Elbasan, meanwhile, the match started well, but the advantage did not translate into a positive result. The friends failed to maintain their lead and left Korça without a point.
Mazari punishes the locals, but the response comes immediately
The first half produced a strong duel, where both teams sought to exploit their opportunities. Elbasan managed to take the lead in the 41st minute, when Mazari took advantage of an involuntary pass from Nikaj and sent the ball into the net. A mistake that gave the guests a significant advantage at a moment when the first half was coming to an end.
However, Skënderbeu reacted without wasting time. Bismark found his way to the goal and restored the balance, bringing the home team back into the game before the break. Again, a mistake by goalkeeper Alekskovski was decisive. This reaction was important for the Korça team, who avoided ending the first half at a disadvantage and maintained the opportunity to claim victory in the second half.
Bismark decides the challenge, the 78th minute goal seals the upset
After returning to the field, Skënderbeu appeared more demanding and increased the pressure in search of the advantage goal. The home team's efforts were rewarded in the 78th minute, when Bismark scored for the second time, overturning the score to 2-1.
The striker thus became the main figure of the match, scoring both of his team's goals and securing a victory of particular importance for Skënderbeu. In a match where the result was decided by the details and the reaction after the disadvantage, Bismark's efficiency made the difference.
For the Korça team, the upset represents more than just an ordinary victory: it is a result that could give the team the necessary impetus to seek more consistency in the coming weeks.
Skënderbeu climbs the rankings, Partizani drops to the bottom
The three points gained against Elbasan bring Skënderbeu to six points, moving them up to seventh place in the standings after the seventh week of the "Abissnet Superiore".
This result also changes the positioning at the bottom of the table, where Partizan drops to last place. For the Korça team, the victory creates the opportunity to start a new phase of the season with more confidence, while for Elbasan remains the disappointment of losing a match in which the former had taken the lead.
Skënderbeu managed to withstand the pressure, react at the right moment and secure the first victory of the season. With Bismark in the role of protagonist, the Korça team has obtained a result that can serve as a starting point for the continuation of the championship.
