Pelister 7th game in a row managed not to concede a goal. Thanks to substitute Bozhinovski they defeated Sileks and will travel to Kratovo with a one goal advantage. It could have been 2:0 but in the 90th minute Vasilev was extremly selfish as he was alone with the visiting keeper and instead to pass to Lucas Cardoso he decided to dribble the keeper.
