Both teams were working hard and their reward arrived. Milano and Rabotnicki Kometal are the teams that on Saturday, 24th of May at 16.30 CET will play the 16th Macedonian Cup Final match.
The role of favorites, at least by Milano's coach Gjore Jovanovski, belongs to Rabotnicki Kometal. These two teams have met twice so far in the season and Rabotnicki won both matches. Their last meeting in the Macedonian first league will be in the 33rd round, but it will be with no particular meaning as Rabotnicki are sure on the first place, while Milano have sealed the runners-up spot. That is why the cup final match will be of crucial importance for both teams. No matter which team will win, it will be their first cup glory. Milano are more or less problems-free and Jovanovski can pick from almost full squad. Bekvalac, on the other hand, still has problems with his players and several important team-members are injured. The match will be played on Gradski Stadium in Skopje with Milano as formal hosts. The prices for the match tickets for south stand are 150 denars, while a ticket for East or West stand will cost 50 denars.
