A former Hearts of Oak showman Winful Cobbinah netted his first league goal for FK Tirana on Friday.

The 28-year-old attacking midfielder scored the winner for his team as they won 2-1 on the road at leaders Partizani.

Idriz Batha opened the scoring just seven minutes into the game to make it 1-0 to the away side. Four minutes later, Jurgen Bardhi found the back of the net for the home team after going behind to make it 1-1.

The action-packed first 45 minutes ended in a stalemate.

Both teams could have scored early in the second half with chances created but the strikers were not in a party mood as they failed to convert the numerous glaring opportunities that came their way.

It looked all set for a 1-1 draw between the two teams before Cobbinah popped up with an exquisite finish in the 90th minute to make it 2-1 for the away side sending the travelling supporters into ecstasy.

Cobbinah was shown his first red card in the Albanian top-flight after his goal in the closing stages of the game with an untimed tackle.
