Macedonia U19 suffered a heavy defeat against their counterparts from Turkey, losing 4:1 on the road.

New national team coach Goran Stanikj debuted with a loss, but the result wasn’t the main priority as the manager wanted to see the potential of his players. The young Turks got out to a 3:0 advantage after only 35 minutes of play. In the 37th minute, Macedonia had a penalty kick that was missed by Vlatko Stojanovski. A minute later, Emil Abaz did pull one back for Macedonia U19, but Turkey added another goal in the 2nd half to cruise to a 4:1 victory.
