Macedonia U19 started the Mediterranean Games 2013 with a 2:2 draw against Libya.

After a goalless first half, Macedonia U19 scored two quick goals and looked good for the win, but the Libyans did not gave up and managed to equalize the match.

Demir Imeri opened the scoreline in 53rd minute and then 10 minutes later another Rabotnichki player in Kire Markoski doubled Macedonia’s lead. However, Libya pulled one back in 70th minute through El Houni and 10 minutes later El Mangoush managed to set the final score of 2:2.

Macedonia’s next match is in two days when they will face Italy.
