First win for Gorno Lisiche, draw between Pelister and Teteks, win for leaders Makedonija GjP. Ljubanci also won, while Pobeda equalized in Gostivar in the last minute.
Table leaders Makedonija GjP won 3 points in a hard fought game. With the brace of top goalscorer Kristijan Stojkoski, Makedonija GjP went into half-time with a 2:0 lead. Skopje pulled one back 20 minutes after the break, but three minutes later veteran player Vasko Bozhinovski made it 3:1. FK Skopje made it interesting thanks to their goal in the 72nd minute, but Makedonija GjP hung on to win 3:2.
The derby match of the round was between last year’s First League participants Pelister and Teteks. That was the best game on paper, but it turned out to be anything but. Instead, both teams settled for a dull 0:0 result. It was the fifth draw for both teams.
Gostivar failed to keep up with Makedonija GjP as they also drew, against Pobeda. Just like Pelister and Teteks, Pobeda also has five draws in six rounds. Pobeda was shown 6 yellow cards in this game, but they went to six different players. The home side was more active and eventually took the lead in the 78th minute when Ertan Hasan scored on the rebound of his saved penalty kick. With the three points seeming secure for Gostivar, they were stunned in the 90th minute when Stojanche Dunimagloski scored with a header to bring Pobeda level at 1:1.
After two losses in a row, Ljubanci got back to its winning ways. They triumphed away to Vlazrimi 77, a team that is tough to beat at home. It was an accidental own goal that gave the visitors the 3 points.
