One step away from promotion. Also because the home field factor is not a factor, which in many cases, especially in the return matches, can be decisive. Kosovo, victorious two to one in the first leg, and which also had a goal disallowed that could have completely decided the promotion to the top league, starts with all the odds in its favor.
The match is in Spain, in Murcia, and so Pirata Muriqi, who didn’t score in Thursday night’s match, could rediscover his desire to score near what is usually his home. Yes, the match can’t be played in Iceland and this obviously means that the “hosts” certainly can’t count on the support of their own fans. There are obviously few chances of a comeback for the Icelandic team, who paid dearly for defensive lapses, even if they were to be expected given the level of play, and then conceded the decisive goal shortly after the start of the second half.
Kosovo did better: they shot more, playing mainly vertically and frequently looking for their center forward who managed on more than one occasion to create space with his touches and real movements. Let’s say that based on what we saw in the first leg, this match could only end in one way.
