KAVAJË, Albania (Interstat) — Besa Kavaje defeated Kukesi 3-1 in an Albanian Cup match on Wednesday at Fusha e Vjetër. Fabjan Beqja opened the scoring for the hosts in the 14th minute, setting the tone for the dominant victory. The win gives Besa Kavaje a perfect start to their cup campaign, while Kukesi begins the competition with a loss. The result defied a pre-match projection from Interstat, whose simulator had forecast a 1-1 draw despite also giving Besa Kavaje a 91 percent probability to win.
