At the opening game of the tournament Macedonia was the better rival than Latvia and won the game thanks to a brace by Bojan Kolevski in the second half. The hosts only managed to score a consolations goal in the 80th minute through substitute Ozoliņš who scored seconds after entering the pitch. Head coach Goran Stankovski used nearly all available players except for Timevski and Dodevski who remained on the bench.
