Vardar barely edged Mladost courtesy of a penalty kick, Shkendija cruised past Metalurg, while Rabotnichki settled for yet another subpar result.

There was no winner in the clash between Vardar and Shkendija, Rabotnichki conceded a late equalizer to drop two points against Turnovo, while Renova and Shkupi collected minimal victories.

Every team that won in the first leg managed to qualify for the quarter-finals, not allowing any surprises.

Vardar, by virtue of beating Shkupi, retook first place on the standings after Shkendija drew against Mladost, while Sileks and Renova also managed to pick up wins this round.

Shkendija’s odds of winning the league title took a big hit on Wednesday after it was announced that Ferhan Hasani will be out 6-8 months.

Once the international break ends later this month, the Football Federation of Macedonia will begin a new project to live-stream all games in the top two divisions.

Shkendija continues to lead Vardar by one point at the top of the table after both teams won on Sunday, while Rabotnichki overcame Metalurg to record a much needed win.

Vardar beat Pelister in the biggest domestic derby, while no Second League side could manage to spring a surprise.

Vardar celebrated another win over Rabotnichki in dramatic fashion, Shkendija continued to roll with a solid display against Sileks, while Metalurg picked up its first win of the season, edging Renova.

The first trophy of the season was won by Vardar after they overcame Rabotnichki 4:3 in the penalty shootout (match was tied at 1:1 after 120 minutes).
