Albania vs San Marino
Albania edge San Marino in tight contest
K. Asllani’s brace, including a last-gasp penalty, secures a narrow win.
Albania managed a 2-1 victory over San Marino in the UEFA Nations League, with K. Asllani opening the scoring early and then clinching the win with a stoppage-time penalty. San Marino’s L. Lazzari pulled one back in the second half, making it a close affair. While Fipster predicted a more comfortable 4-0 win for Albania, the prediction of a home victory was spot on.
