In Shtip, Bregalnica and Horizont Turnovo shared the points in an eventful match. The visitors took the lead first when Pandev scored in the final moments of the first half. He celebrated the goal by provoking the home fans and was reported by the assistant referee which led to him being given a second yellow card, meaning that he is sent off. Pandev did not like this and punched the assistant. In the almost 10 minutes of brawl, his teammates protested the decision so there were argues between the visiting team and the referees which led to another red card being shown to another Horizont Turnovo player in Mitko Mavrov. The second half started with huge advantage for Bregalnica as their opponents only had 9 men on the pitch but Bregalnica only managed to equalized with Markoski’s beautiful free kick goal in the 52nd minute but not to completely turn the game around as well. And they had many chances with the best being the missed penalty by Markoski in the 74th minute as keeper Stojan Dimoski caught the ball.
