Albania suffers second consecutive defeat under Maran's direction

On Saturday evening, the redsights faced Luxembourg at the “Air Albania” Stadium in Tirana, at a friendly meeting that ended with the minimum guest triumph of 1,00.

Decision for the fate of the challenge resulted in Danel Sinani, who achieved the only goal of the match since the eighth minute, giving Luxembourg the advantage since the start of the meeting.

Despite early disadvantages, Albania dominated for most of the match. Local footballers created several good score cases and recorded 13 hits towards the opposing gate, but unable to find the draw goal.

Even ball ownership statistics were in favour of the Reds, yet efficiency in front of the gate remained the main problem.

It was Albania's second consecutive defeat in this month's friendly matches, as earlier had been defeated with the same result -- 2.0 -- even from Israel.

Friendly meetings served as part of preparations for future official challenges, where Albania hosts League of Nations matches and the qualifying cycle for the European Championship “Europa 2028”. /Periscope
