Ljubanci moved into first place as the top of the table saw changes with both Makedonija GjP and Pelister losing this round, while Pobeda and Teteks got back in the promotion race.

Of the five third leagues, only the North continued to play instead of going on a winter break.

Pelister edged Pobeda in one of the biggest Macedonian derbies, Makedonija GjP was surprised by Vlazrimi 77 at home, Ljubanci beat Skopje away. The battle for the promotion places became tight again.

FK Pelister, the only team without a loss in the second division, has seen its players go on strike due to unpaid wages.

This round put an end to the first half of the season in the third leagues, although it is possible that one or two more rounds may be played, depending on the weather.

In a round which saw four draws and one win, only Pelister managed to grab three points in the road triumph over Gostivar.

The postponed Round 4 game between Rabotnichki and Mladost was finally played, the former side winning 3:0.

Plachkovica won the derby against Belasica to remain perfect, just like Vardar Negotino, while Mlekar got its first seasonal win.

Pelister settled for yet another draw, Pobeda managed to beat Teteks, while Makedonija GjP, Ljubanci and Skopje celebrated minimal wins.

Prilep will see its main stadium undergo much needed upgrades after the mayor of that city and the president of the Macedonian federation signed a contract on Friday.
