Mokrino Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Hristo Nikiforovski made the kick off which started today's match. Hristo Nikiforovski received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Vojislav Firfanov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, F.C.Veleshta's Adam Stamenkoski got control of the ball when Timotej Mitkov tried to sneak it across the goal line. Savo Filipovski received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 25th minute. Vojislav Firfanov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Hristo Nikiforovski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Timotej Mitkov struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Adam Stamenkoski didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mokrino Partizan. In the 42nd minute, Timotej Mitkov got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ljuba Sarev was the one to do the kick off. Božidar Rastkov's late challenge caught a Mokrino Partizan's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Božidar Rastkov helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Mokrino Partizan booed when F.C.Veleshta was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 56 match minutes in a wonderful position. Božidar Rastkov didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Timotej Mitkov managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mokrino Partizan's supporters rose to their feet, but Timotej Mitkov was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Adam Stamenkoski breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Vojislav Firfanov showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Božidar Rastkov, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. Adam Stamenkoski made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ljuba Sarev in the 68th minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ljuba Sarev in the 69th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Adam Stamenkoski saved F.C.Veleshta from getting behind. Adam Stamenkoski didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Ljuba Sarev went, in the 72nd minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. Vojislav Firfanov took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Savo Filipovski, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. F.C.Veleshta's Adam Stamenkoski played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ljuba Sarev in the 79th minute of play. In the 82nd minute Hristo Nikiforovski shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vojislav Firfanov saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Ljuba Sarev came up free with the goalie in the 88th minute, the Mokrino Partizan fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ljuba Sarev couldn't finish the play. Ljuba Sarev fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Adam Stamenkoski having to interfere. After a rather tough play, F.C.Veleshta's Ratomir Nakjev got a free kick in the 92nd minute. The F.C.Veleshta players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Mokrino Partizan from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
