In the opening game of the First League second half-season, Rabotnichki recorded a 2:0 win over Horizont Turnovo.
With the goals by new acquisition Bazhe Ilijoski near the end of the first half and captain Krste Velkoski ten minutes from time, Rabotnichki started the second half-season with 3 points. The visitors have title ambitions, but after this defeat they give an opportunity to Vardar to escape on plus 6 if they win the Derby of Macedonia tomorrow in Bitola against Pelister. Rabotnichki won important points in the battle for avoiding relegation.
The game was played at the Gjorche Petrov stadium in Skopje, home of second league side Makedonija GjP as Rabotnichki was denied using the National Arena Philip II of Macedon. The City of Skopje wants to keep the Arena in good conditions for the upcoming 2014 World Cup qualifying game against Belgium.
Rabotnichki – Horizont Turnovo 2:0 (1:0)
42′ Bazhe Ilijoski, 80′ Krste Velkoski
