The table leaders Vardar also won with a late goal. Teteks was seconds away from securing a point but Igor Stojaković then handed Vardar the three points with a goal in the third minute of stoppage time to bring joy to the home fans. His goal came as Vardar was playing with 10 men since the 74th minute when defender Zlatko Tanevski, making his debut, was sent off.
