Bregalnica scored a late winner to take the points in the old Derby of the East against Belasica away in Strumica. The visitors from Shtip got a penalty kick for a handball. Former Belasica player Kostadin Kapsarov stepped in to take it, far his former teammate Gjorgi Trajkov saved it. Unfortunately for the hosts, the ball rebounded on the other side and Miholov was the quickest to put the ball in the empty net. Bregalnica with this win stays at the table top and in the next round will have another hard match as they will host Shkëndija 77, who is only two points behind.

The winner:

A promotion derby was held in the Avtokomanda neighborhood where Skopje hosted half-season leader Ohrid Lychnidos. The winner was decided by an early goal scored by home player Merdian Ramadani. Later the visitors got two red cards, while the hosts one as a brawl occured some ten minutes before the end.

Shkëndija 77 had an easy task this round and clinched a comfortable high scoring win over relegated Vardar. The visitors from Negotino were the first to score, but at the end they conceded a total of 8 goals.

The round will be concluded on Sunday when Golemo Konjari will host Prespa in a battle between two already relegated teams.
