The Gostivar based team broke the rule for fielding an U19 played in the first eleven. The rule under Article 20 which is not used in the top flight but only in the second league says that “each team must begin and end the first half with one U21 player and one U19 player”.
Gench made a mistake by fielding two U21 players. One is Hasip Ljoki (born 1998) with exactly 20 years 2 month and 9 days on the day of the match, while the other is Armend Chajani (born 1997) with exactly 21 years and 20 days.
With this new events here is how the table looks now:
