Rabotnicki's team deservedly won the three points in the away match against Bashkimi in Kumanovo, continuing their fight for survival in the elite of domestic football. Already in the 11th minute, after a quick counterattack for the guests, Suhel Muharemi managed to beat the home goalkeeper Jashari for a 1-0 lead.
Four minutes later, Bashkimi responded through Ribeiro, who, after an assist from Memeti, shot just wide of the post. Aleksovski from the home team had a golden chance to equalize in the 41st minute, but the away goalkeeper was up to the task. Before the very end of the first half, Aleksovski broke through on the right side again and crossed into the penalty area, but Ribeiro was not precise in his finish.
In the second half, the hosts first threatened through Or, whose 16-meter shot ended up in the hands of the reliable Rabotnicki goalkeeper. In the 62nd minute, Boshnakov tried an 18-meter shot, but the ball went wide of Jashari's goal. On the opposite side, Memeti tried from a distance, but his shot ended up in the hands of Ondoa. In the 67th minute, Pejović fired a long-range shot that ended up over the goal.
The key moment occurred in the 72nd minute when a "cold shower" followed for the home team: Merdzhani sent a cross into the penalty area, and Talakov skillfully took advantage of a mistake by Bashkimi's defense to score the second goal for Rabotnicki.
The hosts managed to get back into the game in the 79th minute through Aleksovski, who scored after an assist from Limani. In the dramatic 90th minute, Pejović almost scored an own goal, but Ondoa was in the right place, and in the continuation of the same action he stopped Ribeiro's last attempt, confirming his team's triumph.
