Player ratings

Sékou Sidibé runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 47. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Panajot Qirko is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Panajot Qirko: 3 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Partizani Tirana through in the cup

A 0‑0 win over Teuta Durrës, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Market

Carlos Martínez asks to leave Partizani Tirana

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

The wait goes on for Partizani Tirana

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

5 matches without a goal for Partizani Tirana

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 5 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Market

Odisea Gjati is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Partizani Tirana is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Sékou Sidibé in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Partizani Tirana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Erjon Shkembi is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

In brief
