The Albanian national team has won minimally in the friendly against Gibraltar, a challenge that was the first in history between the two national teams.
The Reds disappointed everyone, leaving little to commend, against the 199th-ranked team in the FIFA rankings.
The Red and Blacks, led by Silvinjo, were rewarded with a goal scored by Jasir Asani in the 69th minute from a penalty. The striker was accurate from the 11-meter point, after a handball, in the action of Cristian Shpendi.
The first half ended with the nets untouched and few scoring opportunities. The only notable ones were Medon Berisha's two attempts, which were stopped by the goalkeeper and the crossbar.
The second half was somewhat different, with scoring opportunities from Cristian Shpendi and Arber Hoxha.
The match ended 1-0, but a total disappointment for a team without ideas and without rhythm, which after 5 days must completely transform if it wants to beat Latvia in Tirana, a valuable match for the World Cup qualifiers.
