Match

Kastrioti Krujë march on in the cup

Dinamo City are out and Kastrioti Krujë go through, 2‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings

Eris Karabeci could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.21

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.21, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Squad

Joke Efevwerha is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Joke Efevwerha: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Kastrioti Krujë

The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

Words exchanged at Kastrioti Krujë

Elias Aarflot and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Kastrioti Krujë training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Behar Ramadani is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces

One of their own: Amadou Traoré

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Kastrioti Krujë find a way past Kukësi

Kukësi made Kastrioti Krujë work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Behar Ramadani

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Emiljano Musta

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Eris Karabeci hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Kastrioti Krujë can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Flynn Macnack is a medical away from Kastrioti Krujë

The deal with Torino is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Tempers go at Kastrioti Krujë

Amadou Traoré was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

4 academy players handed senior numbers at Kastrioti Krujë

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Renaldo Torraj falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Amadou Traoré

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

Kastrioti Krujë promote Arli Balaj from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Arli Balaj has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Serxho Oshafi steps up from the Kastrioti Krujë academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Serxho Oshafi has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
