Pobeda today hosted Skopje at the Goce Delchev stadium in Prilep in a must win match for the hosts. The popular Monkeys needed to beat Skopje in order to build up their hopes of avoiding relegation. Before this round Skopje had 19 points and occupied the 10th place, that leads into the relegation play-off, while Pobeda was last-placed with 13 points.

Skopje not only that wanted to escape Pobeda, but they also hope to catch Akademija Pandev, a team that holds the last position of the safe zone.

The visitors from the capital scored two quick goals in the 35th and 37th minute through Azer Omeragikj and Mile Todorov making it almost impossible for Pobeda to come back. After the break the Prilep team not only failed to score, but conceded two more goals through Bujar Hajdari and Besmin Daci in the 74th and 79th minute.

Pobeda’s fate was sealed, the 4:0 defeat from the direct rival sent them back into the second division as in the three round left they have only two matches to play and the difference is now 9 points.

This was the 4th season in the top flight for Pobeda, as they played three in a row from 2016 to 2019. The club was formed in the summer of 2010 as a ghost club of the original Pobeda who back then got a 8-year ban from FIFA for match fixing. The two clubs never fused, so their record is being kept separately.
