Kosovo stopped at the end by Austria

Kosovo were held to a draw by Austria, in the match valid for League B of the Nations League.

The “Dardanians” were in the lead, but Austria with a lucky goal managed to take a point in Pristina after the match ended 1-1.

The confrontation was extremely dramatic from the first minute, where both national teams sought to find the net. Kosovo threatened with Vedat Muriqi and Veldin Hoxha, but neither of them managed to beat Austria’s goalkeeper.

Meanwhile, Amir Shaipi also made several fine saves to deny the Austrians a goal.

The second half was much fierier. Kosovo started strongly, threatening with Hoxha, who had a good chance with a header, but the shot turned out to be central.

After a beautiful move, Edon Zhegrova assisted Fisnik Asllani, who beat the Austrian goalkeeper to give Kosovo the lead in the 70th minute.

Just three minutes later, Kosovo had the chance to double the lead, but Milot Rashica hit the post.

When no one expected it, Austria built something through a throw-in, where Kalajdzic assisted Lang, who scored with a header to equalise the result in the 85th minute.

After this result, Kosovo ranks second in the group, with 3 points less than Austria.

Kosovo will return to Pristina again on 14 November, where they will host Israel, and then travel three days later to Ireland, where they will close the Nations League qualifying cycle.
