With goals from Ilievski in the 17th minute and Baftiu in the 68th, Prishtina secured all three points with a 2:0 win over Prishtina e Re. For coach Shpëtim Babaj, who replaced Elon Berisha as coach of the team competing in Kosovo’s top flight for the first time, it was a debut defeat.

The “Whites and Blues”, led by coach Arsim Thaqi, have returned to first place with this win, thanks to a better goal difference than Dukagjini of Klina. Prishtina and Dukagjini have 13 points each, one more than Ballkani and two more than Drenica, which sits in fourth place.
