MATCH CENTER

Warta suffers first defeat in crucial match for first place with a bit of controversy.

Albanian Stars took over first place with a narrow win over CKS Warta in a match of the week in Europa League.

Game was played at high level and with great intensity by both teams.  Warta being a better side on the field came off with a defeat.  Oscar Gonzalez gave Warta a lead, but Albanians equalized on a mistake and later took a lead after another defensive mistake.

Warta seem to equalized in the final second of the first half and the goal was given, only to have it removed at the mid-game break, a controversial call.

Ball seem to cross the goal line prior to the half time siren and with full capacity of spectators eyes the goal was unjustly taken off the board.

That sparked a little discomfort to the team as they had to work twice as much to try and earn it back but couldn't do so.

Despite many chances and opportunities, Warta could not find the back of the net and being better side on the pitch, the team walked off with a defeat.

Loss drops Warta to second place tied with Czarni Jaslo on points but with better goal differential Warta has the advantage.
