Rabotnichki and Belasica shared the points in a 1:1 draw in Skopje. Rabotnichki took the lead with a goal by Sebastián Herrera. He fired a shot from long distance and Belasica’s keeper Vujanac should have done better but he let the ball slip into his net. Former Rabotnichki man Filip Ivanovski equalized the score in the first half and that turned out to be the final result.

An interesting match in Kratovo which eventually ended in a 1:1 draw. Makedonija GjP took the lead early with Kristijan Kostovski scoring in the 4th minute. Sileks were trying to get back in the game, but 10 minutes from time they were left with a player less. Mbella has received a straight red card and it seemed the Lions could get away with a win from Kratovo. However, just minutes later Aleksovski has successfully converted a penalty for the home team and set the final score of 1:1.
