Vardar is back on top of the table after the win against Shkendija, Metalurg tripped up in Stip where they settled for a draw against Bregalnica, while Renova collected a 3:1 win to surprise Rabotnicki.
Darko Stojanov once again scored a goal for Bregalnica, just like in the last game against Shkendija, to give his team the lead against Metalurg. Bregalnica seemed to be in a very good position since they were at home and Metalurg defender Igor Kralevski then received a red card in the 52nd minute. However, only five minutes later, Cvetan Curlinov netted a goal for the visitors to set the final score of 1:1.
Napredok cruised to an easy win over Teteks in Kicevo by winning 4:0 despite playing with a man down for over half an hour. Kiril Stepanovski opened the scoring while Markoski, Zekiri and Glisic added one goal apiece for the convincing victory for Napredok.
Renova defeated Rabotnicki as manager Vlatko Kostov managed to beat his former club. Jancevski scored the opening goal early in the match for Renova, Bogdanovik equalized just before half-time for the visitors, while Ristov and Andonov brought Renova three points that will serve as a morale booster for the team. Andonov is another former Rabotnicki player who was let go last season.
Sileks survived against Horizont Turnovo and avoided a huge collapse. The hosts were up 3:0 by the 65th minute but Turnovo then scored two goals to make it interesting. However, Sileks held on and managed to pull out the 3:2 victory.
As previously reported, Vardar won against Shkendija while Ohrid and 11 Oktomvri are scheduled to play tomorrow but the home players might not suit up due to unpaid wages.
