The Albanian Cup "burns" the "Final4" again, or rather, it fades the formula quite a bit, as this edition also includes 4 teams currently ranked in the top 4 in the championship, in the semi-finals. After the return matches, Vllaznia, AF Elbasani, Egnatia and Dinamo City advance, increasing their chances of securing a ticket to Europe. After the 0-1 success in the first match, Vllaznia triumphed 2-1 in "Loro Boriçi" against Bylis.
Child's play for Dinamo City as well, with Ilir Daja's team winning again against Tirana with the same result 2-0. For Shehi and Tirana, the rest of the season returns to the mountains, with the sole objective of ensuring survival.
Egnatia also advances, with the Tetova team boasting a 2-1 victory in the first leg against Teuta after the return match ended in a 0-0 draw.
Goals, tension and strong accusations were produced by the Partizani-Elbasani match. The yellow-blue team triumphed 3-1 in the capital, advancing to the semi-finals, but this result was not well received by the red team, who reacted with a strong statement to the media, directly accusing the referee of this match, Eldorian Hamiti, above all for the penalty awarded in favor of Elbasan in the 119th minute, in the eyes of the non-existent "bulls".
The red team publicly called on the Albanian Football Association to expel this referee as he increases the dissatisfaction of sports fans towards the credibility of the sports competition.
