The friendly match between Saudi Arabia and Albania ended in a 1-1 draw, a challenge played behind closed doors in Abu Dhabi and which was not broadcast on any television.
In the first 45 minutes, the Reds and Blacks had their chances. Initially, it was Bitri who had the opportunity to punish the opponents, while Xhixha wasted in front of goal in the 39th minute.
When he doesn't score, he suffers. The natives of Saudi Arabia scored the first in the 42nd minute with Saleh Alshehri, who converted a penalty into a goal. The goalkeeper Kastrati understood the wing, but could not wait for the shot of the 28-year-old player.
The second half starts with substitutions for Edy Rejan. Our national team balances with Bekim Balaj, with the latter "shaking the net" after getting along well with Odise Orishi.
The 64th minute sees Juliano Skuka as the protagonist, the striker was not coordinated well and the header was not what it should have been.
In the remaining minutes, the result did not change, with both teams ending the challenge peacefully 1-1. For this match there were mainly players from the Superior Category.
Other tests that have already been confirmed for Albania are Italy (November 16) and Armenia (November 19).
