Ilir Daja's Balkan was defeated 1-2 in Pristina by Sivaspor in the valuable match for the Conference League groups.
Although they took the lead in the first half, with a goal scored by Armend Thaqi, the champions of Kosovo could not properly manage the rest of the match.
Ilir Daja's team created many chances, but the players were not accurate in front of the opposing goalkeeper. On the other hand, a little care was shown in the defense, conceding two goals by counterattack from the Turkish team.
After this defeat, the Balkans are in the last place of Group G in the Conference League with four points after four games played, while Sivasspor takes the lead after reaching the quota of seven points.
However, in the next two matches, the Balkans will again play everything for everything, as Slavia Prague is also in the quota of four points, while Cluj has seven, as much as Sivasspor.
The next match for the Balkans is against Slavia Prague, again at "Fadil Vokrri".
