The Macedonian U15 national team played two friendlies against Albania. After nine consecutive defeats this generation has finally shown that it has the potential to achieve better results than the previous ones. Despite the defeat in the second match, our players were the better opponent in both matches, they created a large number of chances but failed to convert them, and on top of that we had an unjustified disallowed goal in the second match. We hope that with this approach things will move in a positive direction for this generation in the future, which should also bring better results on the pitch.
