Shkupi once again beat Novaci to stay in first league, while Zajazi won second league promotion after drawing Labunishta.
An express promotion to the Macedonian highest level proved to be too much for the team of Novaci. Today they lost the second leg of the play-off as well which saw Shkupi remaining in the first league, while Novaci in the second. The Pigeons from Skopje deserved to play top level football by outplaying Novaci in both matches.

Novaci will next season compete in the 2.MFL West.
