Sweet victory over the champion Vardar
Rabotnicki claimed the first victory in 2018, and a very sweet one as our team won the big city derby against the champion Vardar (2-2). The great start was the key point in this match, as Rabotnicki took a 2-0 lead in less then ten minutes of play in this match. We finished the match with ten players after the strange red card the referee showed to goalkeeper Bozinovski, but still managed to hold on to the lead and take very big three points from this match.
It took only two minutes for Rabotnicki to open the scoring, Herera was the scorer with a great placed header. Only four minutes later the result was 2-0, Viktor Angelov was at the right place at the right time, putting the ball in the net from just a few meters.
All Vardar did until the end was the consolation goal scored by Goran Popov in the 78. minute.
