Albania managed to win by a narrow margin of 1-0 against Latvia. Another match where the National Team did not convince, but this time the 3 points were enough to keep us in the game until the end for the big dream of the World Cup.
A goal scored by Kristjan Asllani in the 25th minute from a penalty kick was decided. The penalty was won by Qazim Laçi, whose cross into the area was deflected by the opponent with a hand.
Below you can find the assessments made by Koha Shtesë for some of the National Team players:
Elseid Hysaj (8): "Man of the match! Unfortunately, when Albania was shining in the whole team and in many departments before, Hysaj was a disaster. Now that Albania is suffering in many ways, Hysaj is the best. That match with Serbia has reborn him and Hysaj has played two matches in a row, the best matches with the national team. At one point he even hit the ball so hard in the air and caught it himself, showing Broja where he had to go, how to go and give the ball to his feet. Super level"
Mitaj (7): "On the offensive side, he wasn't as present as before. But in the end he saved us from a sure goal, an intervention on the fatal line that had the value of a goal scored. He had a magical touch on the ball and from time to time he made a move, one of the few we saw on the field, that electrified the people on the stadium steps."
Kristjan Asllani (7): "A great match from Kristjan Asllani too. He is only criticized when Albania loses and draws, not because he doesn't play well, but because his game is more noticeable. Sometimes it seems like he delays something in passing or doesn't see much ahead, but this is Kristjan Asllani's style of play and that's why Inter bought him from Empoli. He has classy moves with and without the ball, he dribbles and moves his body, while the penalty he took was exactly what shows all his technique, he waits for the goalkeeper to jump to one side to send the ball to the other".
Julian Shehu (7): "He keeps the height of Kristjan Asllani. What Asllani lacks in his reporter, the ball and the quick pass, Julian Shehu has. Super performance from our midfielder who shows once again how valuable he is and that he is irreplaceable."
Nedim Bajrami (6): "From time to time, it gives you the impression that Nedim Bajrami is an All Stars match where the whole world keeps its eyes open to see how Thierry Henry, how the phenomenon Ronaldo are still playing. He has class movement, the one that shames rivals and that's how he started the penalty action by beautifully putting the ball between the opponent's legs. But physically his condition was almost... a disaster! Albania does not have the luxury of playing without wingers, who are in such physical condition. Something is wrong with him and it is a big loss for Albania. Bajrami can be removed from the field, but this is not the solution, Albania needs Bajrami for the European qualifiers, this current one is like the first Bajrami only in a few game segments, then he looks like a footballer who no longer has the desire and knees".
Armando Broja (5.5): "He is far from the Armando Broja that we all expect. He seems an alienated player, who no longer has the desire to dribble, to approach the goal and risk it. The lack of training during the holidays is clear and that is why Burnley has sent him to the stands in all the matches of the start of the season in the Premier League. But unlike Gibraltar, he gives some good signals. This time he passes and does not keep the ball in vain, he puts two good balls in the center that if they were deflected by Manaj would return to the goal and he works more in defense. Physically, the condition is very bad".
Rei Manaj (5): "The weakest player on the field! Twice Broja's passes come to him and Manaj does not do his duty to attack the center of the area and push the ball towards the net. A mark for strength and the fact that he is a fighter in aerial duels, but after that, nothing more."
