Macedonia controlled the match, had more ball possession, created more chances and had the lead with a goal by Miovski from the end of the first half, but Moldova managed to equalize with a nice goal by Damascan in the 82nd minute.
The Macedonian national team had the first chance in the 17th minute when Bardhi sent a cross into the penalty area but Serafimov’s header ended up narrowly wide of Moldova’s goal. In the 24th minute, the Moldovans blocked Elmas’ shot, and immediately after, Atanasov’s shot was inaccurate. In the 30th minute, Alioski sent a precise cross to Ristovski, but our striker headed wide of the goal.
Moldova had its best opportunity in the 41st minute when Motspan’s shot was saved by Dimitrievski.
Before the very end of the first half, Bardhi tried a shot from distance, the Moldovan goalkeeper deflected the ball but Miovski found himself in the right place and scored a goal for a 1:0 lead for Macedonia.
Macedonia again was the better opponent in the second half. Milan Ristovski had a great chance in the 56th minute, but his shot went next to the goal. Two minutes later, Iljazovski had a chance after a corner kick, but Moldova’s goalkeeper was careful. Elif Elmas shot from a good position in the 76th minute but the goalkeeper saved again.
In the 82nd minute after a cross from the right side, Damașcan managed to beat Dimitrievski with a fantastic volley and set the final score to 1:1.
