3 goals to "break" the wall of San Marino, 6 full points in 2 matches. Maran's Albania is simply perfect in numbers at the beginning of this season in the Nations League. This is not the time to talk about a brilliant team, after all we had a more than modest rival, but the important thing is that the Rossoneri did not put the victory in doubt for any moment.

Of course, the fans, perhaps even coach Maran himself, expected something more, but the Rossoneri were careful not to let up at any moment, even though there were 6 changes compared to the last match, the one against Belarus, plus a debutant. Very positive news was the goal of Anis Mehmeti, long awaited to have an effect on the representative team as well. Myrto Uzuni also found the net, with Austin's "bomber" returning to goal for the National Team. Rey Manaj was also present, where in the second half he held the captain's armband and scored.

After the third goal in the 65th minute, Maran also started the substitution waltz by throwing players like C.Shpendi, Qefalija or Luis Hasa onto the field. Unfortunately, the substitutions made had no effect, with the score remaining unchanged at 0-3.

In terms of numbers, this was a very positive match for the Rossoneri as they had 72% ball control, created 5 clear chances to score, and hit the target 8 times, but the weight of the rival does not allow you to go beyond the numbers. After all, Finland scored a full 7 goals on this field a few days ago.

"Leading, Albania 'flies' in League C. The Reds win 3-0 against San Marino with goals from Mehmet, Uzun and Manaj ," writes the country's largest sports newspaper, Panorama Sport, on its front page.
