Belasica easily outplayed Kozhuf and recorded a new win, thanks to first half late goals by Martin Mirchevski, Krste Todorov (who has successfully converted a penalty) and a second half goal by Nikola Bozhinov. Kozhuf had to play the second half with 10 men after Lazar Stojkovski was shown a red card when he caused the penalty kick. With this win Belasica made the gap with Bregalnica even bigger and the difference between the top two teams is now 7 points after Bregalnica shared the points with Osogovo in a 2:2 draw.
Sasa originally had no problems with Pobeda from Valandovo, but after being 1:0 down the visitors got left with 10 men and the game went downhill for them. At the end, Sasa won convincingly with 7 goals to 1. Tikvesh squandered a 0:3 lead after the first 45 minutes and had to settle with a point only as Plachkovica managed to score three goals in the closing 15 minutes.
