Albania leads Nations League group after San Marino win
Overview
Prior to their match against San Marino, Albania coach Rolando Maran emphasized the importance of tactical identity and team mentality following a victory against Belarus. To manage player fatigue and avoid yellow card risks before facing Finland, Maran planned squad rotations, potentially resting players such as Stavro Pilo and Ylber Ramadani. Former coach Armando Cungu also commented on the team's progress, suggesting Ernest Muçi deserves a consistent starting role.
Albania subsequently secured the top spot in its Nations League group with a 3-0 away victory against San Marino, marking the team’s second consecutive win. Anis Mehmeti opened the scoring in the 21st minute following a corner kick sequence. Myrto Uzuni doubled the lead in the 27th minute by capitalizing on a rebound after a Rei Manaj free kick, and Manaj finalized the result with a goal in the 65th minute.
Coach Maran utilized several lineup changes during the match and introduced Sina, who made his debut. Albania is scheduled to face Finland in an away match on October 3.
