Overview of Round 20 in the Second League

Makedonija Gjorche Petrov moved into third place after notching another victory, while Shkupi barely edged Euromilk to extend its lead at the top of the table.

Three of the five games took place today in the 20th round of the Macedonian second division. Leader Shkupi, already with one foot in the top division, moved 12 points clear of second place after they edged Euromilk 1:0 on the road. Former Macedonian international Goran Maznov scored the only goal early in the 2nd half.

Meanwhile, in the other two games played today, Makedonija Gjorche Petrov comfortably defeated Napredok 3:0, while Drita downed Gostivar 1:0. Makedonija GjP recorded an expected three points since Napredok is an automatic win these days. They are playing youth players and will be relegated at the end of the season.

Drita, second from bottom, still hopes to escape relegation, so getting that narrow win today was a step in the right direction for them.
