KF Dukagjini produced a spirited second-half turnaround to defeat KF Ferizaj 2-1 in the Kosovo Cup on May 22, 2026. The away side advanced to the next round of the competition after falling behind early but showing remarkable resilience.

First Half: Ferizaj Take the Lead

KF Ferizaj started brightly on home soil and took a well-deserved lead in the 28th minute. A corner kick was flicked on at the near post, and a Ferizaj forward reacted quickest to poke the ball over the line. The home team carried that advantage into the break, leaving Dukagjini with work to do.

Ferizaj continued to create chances early in the second half but failed to extend their lead. That missed opportunity proved costly as Dukagjini grew into the match.

Second Half Dukagjini Fightback

Dukagjini equalized just past the hour mark. A well-weighted through ball split the Ferizaj defense, and the striker finished calmly to level the scores. The away side gained momentum and pushed for a winner, which came in the 78th minute. A defensive mix-up allowed a Dukagjini attacker to nip in and prod the ball home from close range.

Ferizaj pushed for a late equalizer but Dukagjini held firm, securing a hard-fought victory and a spot in the next round of the Kosovo Cup.

Cup Context

The Kosovo Cup is always fiercely contested by clubs across all divisions, and this tie lived up to that reputation. Dukagjini’s ability to respond to adversity will serve them well in knockout football, while Ferizaj will rue their failure to finish off the match when on top.

Dukagjini now await their quarterfinal opponent, hopeful of continuing their cup run.
