Goalless draw was the final score in the Macedonian Cup final for youth teams of the under 16 generation between Akademija Pandev and Vardar. In pretty much an equal final both teams had only a couple of chances so penalty shoot-out had to be used in order to break the tie.

Vardar missed the very first shot, but later the Academics missed twice so the red&black team lift the trophy.
