A narrow win and a draw is the outcome of the two road friendlies against Bosni-Herzegovina over the last two days.
Both games were played in Vogošća, a secondary suburb of the capital city of Sarajevo. In the first game on Tuesday, the young Macedonians managed to celebrate a 2:1 win. Vasil Krstev brought Macedonia the lead, but the home team equalized shortly before the break. Keep in mind that each half was 30 minutes apiece. The eventual game winner came courtesy of substitute Bojan Kolevski. All called-up players got a chance to play expect for the injured Borjan Panovski and Jakup Berisha.
The second game took place the very next day, under the same rules of two 30 minute halves. Macedonia started the game furiously and opened the scoring early in the third minute through Kristijan Ristevski. The home side eventually notched the equalizer eleven minutes after the break. The final score stayed at 1:1.
Keep in mind that this generation of players is actually the new U16. Both federations listed the national teams as U15, but in reality the players are born in the year 2000 which makes them U16.
