Facing Northern Ireland in Belfast, which was determining the first position in the group, Dardanette U19 suffered losses of 3:1.
Thus, they lost the possibility of promotion in the A League for the next European qualifying edition, although in this match, even the draw was enough, because in the first two matches had marked victories against Cyprus and Latvia.
In fact, Albina Candman's selections were on track to ensure the first position, because by the 83rd minute, they were at the top, with the goal scored by Gresa Berisha, in the 28th minute, which was best found in the area after the arching point and accurately beat the opposing goalman.
However, locals managed to match the score in the 57th minute through Aimee Neal, which equalled the figures in the 57th minute with a head-to-head shot after arching from angle. Meanwhile, Deputy Carey Halliday, who scored two goals, took care of the victory in Northern Ireland. It was first realized in the 83rd minute, exploiting our carelessness, until the second minute of the extra game marked with a strong long long shot from the distance.
Thus, Kosovo closed this phase in its second position, with 6 points, as much as there was Northern Ireland, but which secured its first position thanks to victory at the bilateral meeting.
Selector Albin Candman after the match said: “A good competition in which we learned a lot as a team. After all the trials we had to reach up to Belfast, we are satisfied with the balance achieved, even though our desire was to be promoted to the A League. However, I can say that girls have done their best against a very strong and physically prepared team. We have not expected such good presentations, in view of the trials we faced for this phase of qualifications. In fact, as a result of our non-visa equipment, we had many significant shortages, as we were at the last match even under the absence of the captain, who was suspended because of the yellow cartoons in the first two matches. However, we have to work hard in the future to raise the level. Players must work harder in their clubs, but also individually. Now we have to prepare the new generation for the next qualifying cycle”.
