A mistake of Bekim Balaj during a penalty shooting led to the Terek Grozny defeat at home in the first match of the Russian championship after the winter’ holidays. 

Three Albanians were part of Terek Grozny line-up since the first minute. Berisha and Roshi played in both sides supporting Bekim Balaj, the team’s only attacker. He was given a chance to get the led in 55th minute through a penalty. But the adversary’s team goalkeeper managed to catch the ball, thus Terek lost a golden chance to lead the match. His mistake was fatal for the match’s fate due to a goal scored by the opponent team in 79th minute. 

The Albanian players failed to score despite multiple tentative, so Terek was defeated at home and currently remains still distant from the European Cups.
