Kosovo delivered one of the most memorable performances in its football history. The team secured a dramatic 4–3 comeback win against Slovakia in Bratislava, booking a place in the World Cup playoff final.

The match started badly for the “Dardanians.” Martin Valjent scored in the 6th minute to give the hosts an early lead. However, Kosovo responded quickly. Veldin Hoxha equalized in the 31st minute. Still, Lukáš Haraslín restored Slovakia’s advantage before halftime (2–1).

After the break, Kosovo took control. Fisnik Asllani leveled the score at 2–2 with a superb goal. Then, Florent Muslija completed the turnaround in the 60th minute. Shortly after, Kreshnik Hajrizi made it 4–2 in the 72nd minute, sealing the comeback. Slovakia added a late goal in stoppage time, but it had no impact on the result.

With this victory, Kosovo advance to the playoff final. They will face Turkey on March 31 at Fadil Vokrri Stadium in a historic match that could decide their place at the World Cup.
