First Half: Turkish Control, Kosovar Woodwork
The opening 45 minutes saw Turkiye dictate the tempo, commanding 67% of the possession. Despite their territorial advantage, Vincenzo Montella’s men struggled to break through a resilient Kosovar defense that effectively blocked early attempts from Kenan Yildiz and Hakan Çalhanoğlu.
CRITICAL MOMENT (29′): Against the run of play, Fisnik Asllani found space for a powerful strike that beat the keeper but rattled the crossbar, nearly giving Kosovo a shock lead. As tensions flared toward the break, both Albian Hajdari and Kerem Aktürkoğlu were cautioned in stoppage time.

Second Half: Aktürkoğlu Breaks the Deadlock
Turkiye emerged with renewed purpose and finally shattered the stalemate in the 53rd minute. Orkun Kökçü turned creator, threading a brilliant ball to Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who clinically finished with his right foot to make it 1-0.
Kosovo refused to back down, introducing Edon Zhegrova and Milot Rashica to spark a comeback. The final 15 minutes were a defensive masterclass from Abdülkerim Bardakcı, who registered multiple key clearances and a match-winning tackle in the dying seconds. Turkiye survived a frantic six minutes of added time—despite a yellow card for keeper Uğurcan Çakır and coach Montella—to secure all three points.

Tactical Impact: The Substitution Breakdown
TR
Montella’s “Reinforcement” Strategy
At the 83rd minute, Montella executed a double defensive pivot. By replacing the creative duo of Arda Güler and Hakan Çalhanoğlu with Evren Eren Elmalı and Salih Özcan, Turkiye transitioned from a possession-based 4-2-3-1 to a compact defensive block.
RESULT: This neutralized Kosovo’s late aerial barrage and allowed Turkiye to absorb pressure without conceding high-quality shots.
KS
Foda’s All-Out Attack
Franco Foda threw caution to the wind at 71′ and 80′, introducing the flair of Edon Zhegrova and Milot Rashica. Kosovo’s possession increased to 44% in the final stages, with Zhegrova specifically forcing Turkiye’s fullbacks into deeper positions.
RESULT: While it increased threat levels (8 crosses in the final minutes), the lack of clinical finishing from the bench meant the 1-0 scoreline remained.
