Luck was not on our side against the champions

Rabotnicki suffered another loss, this time in the match against reigning champions Shkendija (1-0). Junior was the scorer of the winning goal in the second half, but the referee Meckarovski helped the hosts, not noticing Ibraimi elbowing Milovan Petrovic just seconds before the goal.

Skendija was the better team in the opening minutes, Shefiti missed the first chance of the match, with Sharkoski missing our first chance. Rabotnicki player better and better as time passed, but Shkendija managed to take the lead in the 53. minute, when Junior found the target with a little help from the post.

Rabotnicki had two great chances in the final ten minutes, but Zahov saved both shots from Blazevski and Manoyan, giving Shkendija the victory.

After 23 round, Rabotnicki is on the fifth pace of the table with 31 points.
