Arsimi defeated Vardar at home 1-0, making the battle for the title even more interesting, after Shkendija also triumphed over Makedonija GJP away, and now the two biggest rivals enter the last nine rounds with an equal number of points.
Spahiu, Velkovski and Matic threatened Vardar, and then Gafuri on the other side, but there was no change in the score until the 44th minute.
Arsimi took the lead after an action by Dardishta who passed to Mustafa, who sent the ball into the penalty area where Goni found himself, who beat Taleski and brought the advantage to the home team.
In the second half, Vardar had full initiative and possession of the ball, but lacked concentration in finishing the actions. Velkovski had two chances, and then the most ripe opportunity came in the 77th minute when Zakarić was alone on the right side, but his shot was saved by Siljanovski for a corner.
Both Torres and Talevski had chances for Vardar in stoppage time, but the result did not change, so the home team celebrated a great victory in the battle for survival.
