1. General impression

Good work in a "liberal" style, without reaction to minor fouls, "non-deliberate" hand balls, etc. At one instance, he did not pay attention to a minor foul against a striker, that kept the game tempo, and a goal was scored consequently. Prompt control of the right distance for free-kick walls should be noted. Good teamwork with the linesmen. A small number of offsides was signaled with some delay, but correctly. Overall, he had a good match, but however, the game itself was not definitely a hard one.

2. Certain complications

An outbreak of offensiveness which took place around the 60th minute was put away by a couple of yellow cards. Mutual tension arose just after the third goal had been scored. But the cards were administered to both sides at this point. This indicates that Balaj was not easily influenced by "general" game impression while treating each episode separately.

3. Mistakes

69' minute. A clear offside was not signaled. The ball was in the hands of the goalkeeper, but the flag had to be raised. 90+3' minute. A corner kick coming in, the ball was knocked off by a defending player. Instead, a goal kick was assigned.
