A goalless draw against the leader Shkendija
Rabotnicki drew without goals against the leader Shkendija at the National Arena “Todor Proeski” in the 21st round of the First Football League of Macedonia. Aleksandar Vlaho’s team not only managed to stop the winning rhythm of Shkendija, but can also regret the triumph of this match. Our team was more aggressive, they wanted to win, they created many more opportunities in front of Zahov’s goal.
Kristijan Stojkoski was the first to threaten Shkendija’s goal, but his shot was not accurate. Marjan Ristovski shot sideways from the left side in the 23rd minute, but the guests’ defense set a block at the last minute, and Metodi Maksimov had the best chance before the end of the first half, when Zahov dropped the ball, and he shot over the goal from a half volley .
The only more serious attempt of Shkendija in the first half was made by Ljupcho Doriev.
In the second half, Luka Stankovski had an obvious opportunity, but did not realize it, Stojkoski threatened, and in the finish Petar Petkovski shot sideways from the right side, but Zahov managed to defend. It must be mentioned that the referee Aleksandar Stavrev at the beginning of the second half did not point to the white spot for Rabotnicki after the obvious play with the hand of a defensive player.
