Kosovo won the first match against Iceland with a score of 2-1 in the play-offs in the Nations League.

The Dardanians started the match by attacking their opponent and thereby creating an early lead.


In the 19th minute, Lumbardh Dellova scored a beautiful goal for Kosovo, thrilling the fans with his elegance.

However, our players were not attentive, conceding a goal after just three minutes.

It was the captain, Orri Oskarsson, who equalized the score at 1-1.

Vedat Muriqi missed a golden opportunity in the 42nd minute, where the ball hit the goal from close range.

A bitter news is that Valon Berisha will be absent from the return match as a guest of Iceland, after receiving a yellow card, while he had one from the matches in November last year.

Kosovo regained the lead at the start of the second half, showing how much they wanted the victory.

Elvis Rexhbecaj was the one who put Kosovo ahead, when he scored a beautiful goal in the 58th minute.

In a combination with Vedat Muriqi, Milot Rashica failed to beat the opposing goalkeeper, missing a great opportunity for the third goal.

Our players continued to attack Iceland's defense, but were unable to score, while Aro Muric was decisive with his saves during this match.

On Sunday (March 23), Kosovo plays the return match against Iceland, valid for promotion to League B. /Telegraph/
