Macedonian Cup 1/8 finals return legs

Moment of the Makedonija GjP - Shkendija gameBregalnica Shtip, Metalurg, Rabotnichki, Napredok, Shkendija, Pelister, Teteks and Drita are the 8 teams that advance into the quarter-finals.

Vardar managed to win against Metalurg, but it was only a Pyrrhic victory as Metalurg is the one that advances into the quarter-finals. Thanks to the early goal by Oliver Peev, Metalurg celebrated even after losing the game with 2:1 as they won 1:0 at home and the away rule is in their favour.

The other derby clash featuring Bregalnica Shtip and Turnovo ended on penalties. Bregalnica won with 1:0, the same result that ended the first game but in favour of Turnovo. It was substitute Riste Naumov who decided the match with a goal 10 minutes from time. The home team missed a great opportunity to close the clash as Eftim Aksentiev hit the post in the first minute of the injury time. The rules were saying that no extra is to be played, so penalties were taken right after the 90 minutes. There were no uncertainties as Bregalnica won after only 3 series since Mitko Mavrov, Milan Svojić and Sashko Pandev missed for Turnovo.

Cup holders Teteks also somehow managed to advance. 2:2 ended todays game as well as the first leg so the Second League side was luckier on penalties winning with 5:4.

Penalties were also taken in Bogovinje where Drita beat Sileks with the same one goal result as they lost in the first game. The hosts were better after a long series of penalties, winning 8:7.
