Tirana got a very important victory in the race for the championship title as it defeated Egnatia 2-1 with a reversal thanks to the double goal of Kristal Abazaj and goes +5 points from Partizan. Coach Orges Shehi today celebrated another 100 games in charge of the blue and white and in the interview after the game he said:

"When you play last, others have got their results and that adds to the desire and the pressure. It was an important match with a very strong opponent. A match between rivals, compliments to the team for that reaction after 0-1. The spirit of sacrifice, character and this team shows that it does not give up.

I am very happy for Abazaj as he is helping us. Knowing the ego he has, he wants to be on the field. He will give the mask but he is not even 70% himself. He is a player who makes a difference and today he used the team by scoring 2 goals.

When we were punished it was a perfect execution from Dwamena and Kasa, they have quality in the team. Egnatia this match was lined up with 3 centers and 2 pushing wingers. After 20 minutes we started to come out playing short and took control of the game. Even the goal makes you interpret the game better. In the second half we tried to be with 3 players up to not allow Egnatia to start. All Egnatia's danger was from crosses and long balls and we brought in all the tall players. A victory that pleases us.

This season we have had a lot of movement and this has brought a good discontinuity. Today we won 3 in a row, but we also have 1 draw in Ballsh and a win against Laci. 5 matches without defeat and 4 wins. In addition to injuries and departures, we are doing a miracle by always being hungry.

When I entered the match room, the players surprised me. This is an achievement, I believe, and I am satisfied with all those around me. Now we have a very important match ahead. The surprise was a jersey with my name and a jersey with the number 100. But the most beautiful gift was the victory, but we did this to ourselves. All this sacrifice translates into joy for us."
