Match report
Albania beat Finland 2-0 at Arena Kombëtare, scoring once in each half before closing the game out after Miro Tenho was sent off on 67 minutes.
Ernest Muci opened the scoring in the 35th minute, and Albania went in 1-0 up at the break. Rey Manaj, with the assist from Elseid Hysaj, made it 2-0 on 50 minutes, and that proved enough. Finland made two changes on 59 minutes, then Albania made two on 70, while the visitors later made two more on 77 and Albania another two on 82 as the game drifted away from them.
The numbers were tighter than the scoreline suggests. Albania had 56% of the ball and 513 passes to Finland's 411, with 17 shots to 13 and 6 on target to 1, but Finland posted the higher xG at 1.61 to 1.23. Albania also led 5-0 on corners and 4-1 on saves, while the fouls count was 15-16 and the hosts were caught offside 3 times to Finland's 1.
Finland's Leo Walta was booked in the 32nd minute and Adam Markhiev in the 45th, while Albania's Ylber Ramadani was shown a yellow card on 58 minutes. Miro Tenho was then sent off in the 67th minute.
