Albania secured a 1-0 victory over Gibraltar in an International Friendly on 4 September, with both sides deploying a 4-3-3 formation under referee Aaron Wyn Jones. The match proved cagey and low on clear-cut chances, with neither team registering shots on target during the encounter. Gibraltar, playing at home, struggled to create meaningful attacking opportunities, while Albania's solitary goal proved decisive in a contest that lacked the fluidity expected of an international friendly. The absence of detailed statistical records—neither side's possession, expected goals, nor shot volumes are available—suggests a tightly contested affair where clinical finishing ultimately separated the two teams. Albania's efficiency in converting limited opportunities demonstrates their threat on the counter, while Gibraltar's inability to register a shot on target raises questions about their attacking shape in the 4-3-3 setup. The result marks a positive start for Albania's preparations ahead of competitive fixtures.
