Kosovo U21 vs Luxembourg U21

Kosovo U21 and Luxembourg U21 shared a goalless draw at the FFK National Camp in Hajvali on Saturday in a competitive international friendly that neither side could settle. With no goals across ninety minutes, Kosovo U21 at least steadied themselves after a difficult week. Three days earlier in Istanbul, a late header by Salih Malkoçglu in the 82nd minute had sealed a 1-0 defeat against Turkey U21. Midfielder Igball Jashari had spoken confidently before kick-off, saying the Turkey match would help them enter the Luxembourg game at full intensity. For coach Hekuran Kryeziu, the draw is a modest step forward — Kosovo U21 sit fourth in their Euro qualifying group with eight points, well behind Spain U21 (21) and Finland U21 (16). The big tests come in autumn: away to San Marino, then home to Cyprus and Finland. Luxembourg U21 depart Hajvali with a solid clean sheet on the road.
