This Thursday, August 3, 2023 from 8 p.m. will take place the second round of the quarter-finals in qualification for the Europa Conference League. So we will see the Albanians of KF Tirana challenge the formidable Turks of Besiktas who took the lead with a 3-1 success in Turkey in the first leg last week. The match will take place at the Arena Kombetare based in Tirana, Albania. The local team qualified in the previous round against Georgians Dinamo Batumi de Levadia thanks to a saving success in the away leg (1-2) after a parity score in the first leg here (1-1). The Albanian national championship having not yet resumed, last weekend, the players of KF Tirana were therefore at rest and were able to prepare for this return match in the best possible conditions. For their part, the Istanbul players of Besiktas started their season with this first leg, winning the match fairly quietly given the appearance of the match if we rely on the various statistics for shots, ball possession, etc. Nevertheless, even if the Albanians scored their goal on the only shot on target of the match, the reduction of the gap in the 83rd minute of play sent a shiver to their Turkish hosts who knew in a last rush that they hammered home the point. in additional time (94th minute) to benefit from a score more in line with the reality of the green rectangle.
