The two players were exhausted. Limani scored the second goal, while Haxhiaj scored the third and the victory for Albania.
Overall, Mali i Zi reacted quite well to the three goals. Initially, Danilo Babovic balanced the difference, while in the last minute, Nikola Vidakovic scored the second for his team. Even so, why did the Albanian futsal team score two goals and fall into a disadvantage, which Erind Resuli's team managed until the end of the second half against Mali i Zi.
This year has been very positive for the Albanian futsal team, as they currently have four wins, two draws, and no losses in the mini-challenges developed against Mali të Zi and Zvicerës.
Mini-challenges are very challenging for the technical staff as they serve for the qualification of the group for the upcoming major competitions.
