At that moment Sateska was fighting to get closer to leaders Prespa. The match played on April 13 ended with a 1:1 draw, meaning that Sateska’s dreams for the top are definitely over as the point difference remained simply too big.
After the final whistle a brawl occurred resulting with one visiting player hit in the head by a non official person. Later it was revealed that the player is Nedjmi Redjepi, scorer of the equalizer in the 3rd minute of the stoppage time, who had to be taken to hospital due to the gravity of the injury.
“We express our deep regret and strongly distance ourselves from the action of our fan, who completely irresponsibly entered the field and in a completely incorrect and unjustified manner seriously injuring the visiting player Nedjmi Redjepi. With this action, for which we are convinced that he sincerely regrets, he inflicted a great black stain on our club and our village, for which we condemn him most severely and apologize most deeply, if possible, primarily to the injured player and his family and of course to FK Prespa, with whom we have had excellent relations. For us, the fact that until that moment nothing indicated that such an unpleasant scene would occur is even more devastating.” – said Sateska in a statement after the match.
Sateska also informed that despite they had officially requested a police presence from the Ohrid Regional Police Department, no policeman showed up.
The governing boddy of the 3.MFL Southwest informs: “Based on Article 116 of the FFM Disciplinary Regulations, and in connection with Article 122, Article 125 of the FFM Disciplinary Regulations, the Disciplinary Committee due to the entry of an unofficial person into the playing field and the same person physically attacking a player of the visiting team after the end of the match of the 3.MFL Southwest, based on Article 51 of the FFM’s DP and Article 28 of the Propositions for Competition in the Third Leagues, the following DECISION was made:
1. FK Sateska from the village of Volino IS PUNISHED with a fine in the amount of 1,000 euros in denars against the value of the day of payment.
2. FK Sateska IS PUNISHED with a ban on playing 12 league or cup matches at home.
3. FK Sateska will play its matches as a host on a field distant from its own in the village of Volino at a distance of 50 km. On a field approved for playing by the competent body in accordance with the FFM Infrastructure and Stadiums Regulations.”
On Sunday, Sateska will play as host in the village of Slatino when they will welcome Evrotip. That field is home ground of the Slatino team that competes in the 4.MFL Ohrid.
After this round Sateska will have two more home matches (against Slavej and Vllaznimi), which means that next season they will also have many matches to play outside their home village.
