The match was played at the Qemal Stafa Stadium with only a few thousand fans showing up from the start of the game. Tirana were forced to play an unusual line-up due to injury to some of their main players like inspirational leader Devis Mukaj and goal-machine Migen Memelli. Tirana started the game with just Arbër Abilaliaj up front with youngster Blerti Hajdari playing just behind the striker. The fans providing the atmosphere inside the stadium as always were the 'Tirona Fanatics', another notable fan was former chairman of KF Tirana and the president of Albania, Bamir Topi who had taken up his normal place in the V.I.P section of the stadium. The match itself started very slowly with very few chances to shout about until the second half when Tirana whipped in a corner and after confusion in the box former Flamurtari player Arbër Abilaliaj managed to scramble the ball into the back of the net on the 72nd minute mark. This proved to be the only goal in the game.July 2012 Final 16 August 2009 20:30 CET Tirana 1–0 Flamurtari Vlorë Abilaliaj 72 Qemal Stafa Stadium Tirana 300 Albano Janku W Kategoria Superiore 2009–10 Kategoria Superiore League table TIR Results summary 8 3 6 22 17 7 4 5 16 15 19 May 2010 Competitive matches February 2019 Results by round table b Round Ground H/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/A/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/H/A/H/A Result L/W/W/D/L/D/L/W/W/W/L/W/D/D/D/W/W/L/W/L/L/W/L/L/L/W/W/W/L/W/D/W/D Position 9/5/4/4/6/6/6/5/5/4/4/4/4/3/4/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/4/4/3/2/4/3/4/4/3 Home Away green2 Win yellow2 Draw red2 Loss 1st 2nd 3rd red2 red1 complete Competitive matches February 2019 Albanian Cup 2009–10 Albanian Cup First round First leg 21 October 2009 Luzi 2008 3–1 Tirana Luz i Vogël Luz i Vogël Stadium L Second leg 4 November 2009 Tirana 3–0 4–3 Luzi 2008 Tirana Selman Stërmasi Stadium W Second round First leg 25 November 2009 14:00 CET Lushnja 2–2 Tirana Bizhytit 46E.
