Pobeda Prilep – Metalurg Skopje 1:1 (1:1)
30' Krstev (pen.) – 42' Neno
After the suspensions by UEFA, shocked Pobeda hosted in-form Metalurg who arrived in Prilep to use the current situation and win the points.
But the whole situation didn't have big effect on Pobeda's players who could have taken the lead on the beginning of the match. In the 2nd minute Metalurg's goalkeeper Tasevski went a little up front and Stanojlovic tried to use this chance, but the lobbed ball went above the goal. Ten minutes later, the guest had their first scoring chance, but Spasojevic' header went next to the goal. The real excitements started after 30 minutes when Silva was fouled in the box and a penalty was awared for Pobeda. The experienced captain Mile Krstev took the kick and scored the opening goal. Five minutes later Nestoroski had a great scoring chance but he missed the target. Metalurg punished the hosts in the 42nd minute when Adelcio Abrilio Carlos – Neno scored very nice goal with a long shot from 25 meters.
The second half didn't bring much nice football with one nice chance by Velkoski which was saved by Bozic, but brought tensed atmosphere and three red cards. Pobeda's goalkeeper Bozic and Metalurg's striker Velkoski were sent off because of an brawl, so the defender Obradovic had to act as a goalkeeper in the last 15 minutes. Few minutes later Metalurg's Georgievski earned his second yellow card, so Metalurg finished the match with nine players.
In the last minutes Aceski and Nestoroski had nice chances for Pobeda, while Carlos Neno could have won the points for Metalurg in the 87th minute when in stead of the net he hit the goal post.

Pelister finally won and escaped from the bottom of the table. After four defeats and a draw, Pelister won the three points and escaped the relegation spot.

Renova had their biggest chance in the 72nd minute when Ismaili sent a low cross from the side, but it was missed by Pelister's defence and went towards the goal but the ball was blocked. The biggest excitements happened in the last ten minutes of the match. In the 83rd minute, Dimitrovski sent a cross from the right side and Zlatko Delovski met the ball in the box and scored for Pelister. Pelister's lead probably brought nervous for Renova's players, so Agron Memedi was sent off in the 84th minute because of his kick over Spirovski. Three minutes in the injury time Despotovski scored for Renova, but this goal was disallowed because of a hand play. This decision caused big protests by the guests, but the referees ended the match and Pelister won the three points.
