Second part Second phase: Weeks 14-16 Figures, facts, comparisons. The second phase starts with these statistics: During the first phase of the 26th football championship, a total of 205 goals were scored, or ten more than during the same period last year. The classification table was led by 17 November with 22 points, 1 more than Dinamo who led last season. In the 13 games of the first phase, six penalties were awarded, five of which were successfully completed, the 11th and sixth Vlonjat footballer Cela was unable to convert it into a goal, as the Shkodran goalkeeper Ndoja received the ball. This number of penalties is equal to that of the first phase last season. While for the 11th row, the sixth goal of the last season belonged to the meeting Partizani-17 Nentori and was lost to the best scorer of the last year, Hyka. Football player Blloku i Studentit, Disha i Lokomotive, Mullaliu i Bese and Gjoni i Shkendise have had the bad luck to score in their goal. The same number of own goals were scored in the last season. After 1280 minutes of play, the student who closed the classification table with two points has not yet felt the taste of victory. Whereas Luftatari had 1 win and 4 draws in the first phase of the football season last season, so 6 points. Labinoti has the largest number of draws with 8 such. At the top of the list of the best goal scorers is the striker of Dynamo Permaska with 10 goals. After him come Pano with 7, Merhori, Curi and Ceco 6, Hyka, Pagria, Zeri and Puka 5 goals, etc. The team that scored the fewest goals is Vllaznia with a positive goal average of 20-6, while Tomorri has a negative one with 8-30. In the first phase of last season, Partizani had the best goal average 26-6, while Luftetari had the negative 7-23. The difference in points between the leading team in the ranking table and the last place that closes this ranking is 20, exactly 5 more than what it was during the same period last year Week 14 January 30, 1972. Ties continue for Labinotin who ranks 9th. Shkendija took 3 points from Elbasan, two in the first phase and one now. It was right to think that the match between them would be strong because that's what happened and this is to the credit of both sides. Shkendise's goal was scored "once" by Vasillaq Zeri, who with Dinamo would become one of the most dangerous attackers and the biggest names in Albanian football. In Gjirokaster Luftetari starts the second phase well in the match against Dinamo. With all the difficult terrain, both teams play a lively game and interesting phases. Dinamo went on the attack in the first minutes, but the attacks organized by Ceco and Pernaska were weak and easily broken by the defenders of Luftetar. As the minutes passed, the locals recovered, but without being able to conclude because the attackers played an individual game. The second half was better even for the fact that two goals were scored. The first move to the friendly advantage through Ceco in the min. 77th, but their joy did not last long, because after five minutes, Vaso equalized the score at 1-1 with a strong shot! In Tirana, with all the difficult terrain and the rain that fell for almost 90 minutes, the Partizani-Student meeting that took place on Sunday morning at the Dinamo stadium, was followed with interest by hundreds of sports fans. The student made a strong resistance to Partizan, forcing it to sweat a lot to ensure the victory. The transition to advantage with Nakici's side as well as their careful play made the first half end 1-0 in their favor. In the second half, the game takes on a different look as it is the Partizan players who take the reins of the game and build a series of dangerous descents. Thus, without even passing 4 minutes, it is Cani who, with a quick and timely intervention, equalizes the result 1-1. After the draw, everything is talking about Partizan, who moved the game to the Student's half-field, where he persistently continued to exert pressure and as a result scored two more goals with a header by Pano in the 71st and Kalluci in the 73rd. Finally 3-1! In the national stadium "Qemal Stafa" in the capital, the forces of November 17 and Flamurtari are measured. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. Mema and Hatibi scored for the locals, respectively, in the 31st and 89th minutes, while Haxhiu scored for the Vlonians in the 63rd and 85th minutes. Regardless of the result, on November 17, he played better, created more chances to score and for several minutes he concentrated the game in the half-field of Vlonia and his attackers did not know how to take advantage of the opportunities that were created due to the few shots and the shape of the team. Well done to the Vlonian goalkeeper Sulo. Not even the 20 cornets were of any use on November 17. The equalizing goal, the result of a determined effort by Hatib, gave the team the opportunity to keep the loss column intact. Flagman had an incomplete start that continued throughout the first half. The team appeared unorganized without strong ties between the guilds. In the second half, through quick counterattacks, he scored two goals and then made a mistake by retreating into defense to save the result, giving 17 November the opportunity to attack. More was expected from Flamurtari. They were chased from Kazanxhi and Laze fields. In Shkodër, Vllaznia, on a difficult terrain made heavy by rain and hail that did not stop during the 90 minutes, scored the deepest victory of this week, defeating Tomorri 5-0. The first 45 minutes were at a satisfactory level developed at a high pace where both teams played hard overcoming the difficulties of the time. The only goal of this part was scored by Rakiqi in the 29th minute, hitting the ball with his head from a difficult position. To be mentioned is also the post hit by C. Ndoja as well as a rather difficult reception by the Beratas goalkeeper Ramenica. The second half, although it did not have the characteristics of the first, was of a weaker level and more goals were scored. This is how Hoxha (62'), Kocobashi (68'), and Rakiqi scored again with two more goals in the 74th and 80th minutes, thus becoming the author of three goals for the Shkodra team in the current promotion. In general, Tomorri's friendly team played a tough game and referee Caslli (of the international category) rightfully kicked Ahmet out of the field for improper behavior towards Biz. Ramenice's attitude towards the side judge G. Sheshi is also inappropriate. In the commentary of the week for the matches played, we also find those of the evaluations for the judges who judged these matches. This is how good words are said for the capital trio in Durres, mainly Haxhi Pellumbi, and flaws such as F. Pupa's in the November 17 – Flamurtari meeting, and T. Kalaci's in the Labinoti-Shkendia meeting. From time to time during this championship, attention has been drawn to weaknesses in the judgments, and yet they continue even causing protests from the football players and disapproval of the public. In addition to the educational work with the players in order to maintain a correct attitude on the field, there is also a need for more strengthening of the technical-professional education of the referees and their physical preparation to follow the game closely, as a condition for avoiding mistakes. In Korce, Skenderbeu – Besa end their challenge with intact nets 0-0, despite the efforts of both sides, thus separating both teams in a peaceful way by one point. In Durres, Tractor gets a valuable point from Lokomotiva, which plays well in the first half and even scores quickly in the 7th minute through Leshten. Durresake increases the efforts to deepen the result but without fruit. On the contrary, in the second half, the home team's game is weak, which benefits Traktor, who entered this half more mobilized, exerting pressure from the first minutes. And so in the 61st minute Sefa seals 1-1! Despite the rain and hail that fell throughout the second half, both teams played a strong and manly game. Week 15 After the matches played this week, the situation in the ranking is this: November 17 leads with 25 points (26-8 goal difference). Partizan is second with 23 points and right behind it is Vllaznia with 22 points. Dinamo is in the 4th place with 20 points and it seems that it is out of the possibility of winning the championship title. At the bottom of the ranking table are Tractor, Tomorri and Warrior who continue the battle of survival in the first category. The match of the card, of course, was the one at the national stadium "Qemal Stafa" between the local Dinamo and Vllaznis of Shkodra, which ended in a 1-1 draw. February 6, 1972 Based on the fact that both teams claim first place, the victory at this moment of the championship is "expensive" and the objectives of both teams were of course quite different from the match held in Shkoder in the first phase. In general, the game was developed with stages of raising and lowering the level. Thus, in the first half, the pace was higher than both teams, even though Dinamo acted more tactically. Dynamo will seriously threaten the Shkodra goal protected by goalkeeper Ndoja in an excellent sporting form. Here we can mention a series of cases: Pernaska in the 7th minute, Cutra in the 14th and 16th minutes, Xhafe's bomb shot after a long incursion of 40 meters where Ndoja avoided it in an acrobatic way. The game maintains these characteristics until the 70th minute. Then the goals of both teams become clear, Dinamo's efforts to equalize the result 0-1 and the goals of the Shkodran players to protect the advantage achieved in the 49th minute by Kocobashi after a "dry" and surprising shot. forced the goalkeeper of Dinamo Ahmedani to take the ball out of the net. This is where the advantage of the locals started, focusing their game in the Vllaznisa half-field. Continuous pressure, framing in the attack of all players brought the crowning of Dinamo. Seven minutes before the end, Pernaska scores, thus spoiling Shkodran's goal to win the match. It must be said that both teams, in order to secure the victory, started the game by correctly evaluating both the attack and the defense, and this evaluation remained until the 70th minute because after that there was only a scheme on paper, while in practice the rigid schematic game expressed in the loyalty of the defense and midfield players to the control post of the opponents …. the spectator did not see a dynamic match, more elastic and with more prominent features of the football of the time. The match played in Berat between Tomorri and the defending champion Partizan had pace, strength and only… 1 goal. Compared to the previous matches, the locals played better, they attacked the goal of their friends, who had to sweat a lot until they got the well-deserved victory. Thus, in the first half, both teams attacked densely, but the Partizan players were more dangerous in their descents, although this part of the game ended with the nets intact. In the second half, the locals tried to attack to get the advantage, but Partizan achieved this goal. In the 66th minute, Pano hit the net from close range. Tomorri continues his efforts to equalize by exerting pressure on the goal protected by Lelaj, even in one case the friendly goalkeeper received the ball close to the "fatal" line, but the result remained 1-0 for Partizan. In addition, friends had the opportunity to deepen the advantage when the referee awarded an 11-meter penalty in their favor. The ball shot by Pano hit the post of the Berata goal and returned to the field. On November 17, he scored 5 goals for the Student. The current leaders had the upper hand throughout the match and made good use of the created opportunities. Three goals were scored by A. Mema and Cela e Xhacka, and the whole match ends 5-0. November 17 continues to be the only team that leads without defeat in this championship. Its antithesis continues to remain the Student who has not yet won a single match, which even in this match presented itself weakly, without strength and conclusive power. In Vlora, Flamurtari has an advantage over their friends Korcar both in the first half and in the second, but the result did not change and remained the same as the beginning 0-0. The meeting between Lokomotiva and Labinot took place on a rain-soaked ground, but it did not prevent the teams from developing a mobilized game and beautiful football. Durresakes with the duo Leshteni – Aliaj threaten the Elbasan goal of Bakalli, Aliaj stumbles in the area and the referee Caslli gives 11-meters but Lilo is unable to score by hitting the post. What the locals couldn't do, the friends did through Ibershim in the 16th minute, also with a penalty caused by Kalaja. The game is livened up, Durresaks in the decisive moments are busy, while Labinoti works better with his arms and pays attention to the defense. In the second half, Lokomotiva does everything possible to equalize the result. Labinoti leaves the attack and returns to defense, but without giving up the quick counterattacks, where in one of these Gjika hits the post of Bellaku's goal. However, Lokomotiva plays better, clearly, its attack connects better and the fruits of this game are not delayed when Leshten draws 1-1. A Labinot who was physically prepared but went on the attack. The locomotive was centered in the center. Aliaj was one of the best players in the field. In Lushnje, the match between the local Traktor and Besa se Kavaja, followed with interest by a record number of spectators, was of a satisfactory level. The first were the vandals who took the lead through Haxhiu in the 7th minute and the Cavaliers equalized the result and the whole game only in the 81st minute through Dyle. A match that Traktor played better and was very close to victory. Lushnjar players exerted pressure throughout the match, threatened Feshti's goal several times and forced the friendly defense to be careful. Besa, for its part, had to play this match better, especially regarding the organization of discounts. Meanwhile, in the "Dinamo" stadium, Shkendise's team beat Luftetar 4-0, all four goals scored in the second half after the friends of Girokastri appeared tired after the first 45 minutes played by both teams with some rhythm, organization and circulation of the ball but also with a lot of passes without address. Shkendija fully deserved the victory. Week 16 February 13, 1972 A coincidence! This week, 16 goals were scored, as many as the matches played so far in this championship! The deepest victories were achieved on 17 Nentori and Vllaznia, which respectively beat Tomorrin 4-1 and Shkendijen 4-2 in their cities. Another coincidence is the same goal average of these two teams, 30-9! The only difference is that 17 November takes the first place with 27 points while Vllaznia, three points behind with 24. Of the contenders, Partizan, the reigning champion, "released" two valuable points after losing to Dinamo 0-1 in their direct meeting. The teams of Besa, Labinot, Skenderbeu and Lokomotiva won two points with one goal each. With the exception of 11 Durreska, the others were hosts. Flagumtari remained in the quota of 15 points, while Traktori is one step below. Preoccupying is the situation of Tomorri, the student warriors who lose again and close the classification table with a negative goal average and few points in their "pocket"! The match of the card was of course Partizan – Dinamo (0-1) which was attended by a record number of spectators. Dinamo won the match with the goal scored by Hafizi in the 1st minute. The other 89 minutes of the game cannot change this result. Dinamo did not remain at the mercy of this goal, on the contrary, there were chances to score but they failed to take advantage of them. Even though the pitch was rough, Dinamo showed up in a motivated game. This was seen in the first minutes where the goal came after a quick combination of Ceco – Pernaska that created a free zone for Hafiz to score. For twenty minutes, the game had a fast pace from both teams, regardless of the rough terrain. Partisan relied on Pano. Dinamo played well with a tight and combative defense and created several scoring opportunities, the most typical of which are those of Pernaske and Cutres. The only department that worked at Partizan was the defense, achieving the goal that the result was not deep. Dinamo's victory was deserved. In Shkoder, in "Vojo Kushi", Vllaznia leads 3-0 in the 63rd minute. 14 minutes later, the result changes to 3-2, and brings laughter to the team and the Shkodran spectators, showing that in football, as in many other sports, victory is never certain even after such a result with three goal difference. In this segment of the game, Vlaznia underestimated the opponent, due to excessive self-satisfaction that was accompanied by a lack of control in the attacking area, with a lackluster game in the midfield and offensive line. This is how Vllaznisa looked in the meeting with Shkendisa. He scored three goals, one more beautiful than the other, and ended the first half with a goal from Rragami in min. 40 who executed a penalty kick from 40 meters. Then Kocobashi did in the 49th minute what he didn't do in the beginning (because the pillar got in his way). The third most spectacular goal bears the stamp of Cesk Ndoje. He owns one after Biz and skillfully sends the ball into the net after two or three maneuvers. Meanwhile, Shkendija, despite being at a 0-3 disadvantage, showed the fans that they have the strength to react and did this within 14 minutes, even with Fagu (63') and Gurme (76') who scored with headers. Naturally, the Shkodra team was not satisfied with this result and reacted by creating danger in the away team's area and the friendly goalkeeper was not able to stop the fourth goal scored again by Rragami. In general, the game was lively, combative and enjoyable for those present. On Sunday morning at the "Dinamo" stadium, the match between the leaders 17 Nentori and Tomorri took place. This match took place on a wet, slippery and muddy ground. 4-1 were the numbers of the victory of Tirana, with two goals scored in each part of the game and with the author Meme (three goals) and an own goal by Berata friends from Dalipi. With the exception of the first few minutes, the game was of a satisfactory level. In the first half, Tomorri played better, moving the ball in a pleasant way, while on November 17, he made mistakes, especially in the direction of passes. The second half took place differently, the friends lost while the locals got up, increased the pace, connected their teams and worked in a harmonious way, achieving a deep victory. Classification: November 17 in the lead with 27 points, Vllaznia 24, Partizani 23 and Dinamo 22. In the end: Tomorri 5 points, Luftetari 4 and Studenti 2. continues with the other parts….
