Horizont Turnovo had no problems with last-placed Teteks and noted a 2:0 win. Kochoski scored in the first half and Dolapchiev confirmed the win in the second half.
Pelister continues to slide down the table and once again was defeated at home. In a similar match to the last one played at home against Renova, Pelister had more of the play but with not much of creativity in midfield and firepower up front, they were unable to score. At the same time, Sileks played a patient football and knew how to utilize Pelister’s inability to score. The lone goal of the match was scored in the final minutes and it was Marikj’s deed.
