Albanian footballers active in European leagues left their mark this week as well, with positive performances, goals and assists for their teams. The spotlight was on Ernest Muçi, who put in a fantastic display against Trabzonspor, while Cristian Shpendi and Indrit Tuci also made their mark with their achievements.
Muçi was undoubtedly one of the standout names of the week in Turkey. The Albanian striker first provided an assist at the end of the first half in the match against Gaziantep, then in the 61st minute he scored a beautiful goal from distance. His contribution was decisive in Trabzonspor’s 2-0 victory. With these numbers, Muçi now has three goals and six assists in the league this season.
In Italy, Cristian Shpendi continues to impress. The Cesena striker scored the equalizer in the away match against Südtirol, bringing his team back into the game in the 65th minute. The match ended 1-1, while Shpendi is having a very positive season, with eight goals in 10 league matches.
Indrit Tuci also had his reason to celebrate. The Albanian striker decided the derby between Maribor and Olimpija Ljubljana, scoring the goal that gave the final direction to the clash in the Slovenian league. This was Tuci’s fourth league goal this season.
