Albania starts the League of Nations with a victory, wins with an upset over Ukraine

With a lot of grit and aggressiveness, Albania has started the journey in the League of Nations in a perfect way, after the qualitative performance in Euro 2024.

Sylvinho's boys gave an exciting performance against Ukraine, in the valuable match for League B, played at the "Epet Arena" in Prague.

In the first half, the red and blacks had at least 3 chances to score with Laçi, Asllan and Manaj, but were unable to finish.

Ukraine was almost asleep, but woke up at the start of the second half where they found the first goal of this challenge with Konoplya. The right defender of the Ukrainians found the defense unprepared by scoring in the 49th minute of the challenge.

Albania responded to his goal very quickly. The Reds started to attack and in just 5 minutes they managed to equalize the challenge with Ardian Ismajli, who in the 55th minute sent a ball into the net from a corner kick.

After the equalizing goal, the Reds and Blacks dictated the game and in the 66th minute managed to find the goal that overturned the challenge. After a perfect ball movement from the left, Rei Manaj got into the area beautifully and then assisted wonderfully inside the area Asanin who came furiously from the right side of the attack and sent the ball into the net.

Albania thus wins the first challenge in the group with a score of 2-1 and hosts Georgia on Tuesday evening at "Air Albania", with the red and black team returning to play in front of their home crowd in Tirana.
