SHKODER, Albania (Interstat) — Vllaznia Shkoder defeated Bylis 1-0 on Tuesday in an Albanian Cup match at Stadiumi Adush Muça in Ballsh.

The lone goal came in the 28th minute from Lirim Kastrati, securing the victory for the visiting side. The win gives Vllaznia Shkoder a successful start to its cup campaign, while Bylis begins with a defeat. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat’s game simulator, which had forecast a 1-1 draw. The same statistical service, however, had favored Vllaznia Shkoder with a 73.7% win probability based on its ELO ratings.
