Struga Trim Lum recorded their first away win of the season. With a dominant performance and goals from Besmir Bojku and Marjan Radeski, the Struga side took all three points from their visit to Shkendija Arachinovo.
The visitors started on the attack from the very beginning. In the 5th minute, Diako opened the match with a shot from 17 metres, but the ball went over the bar. However, the pressure soon paid off. In the 9th minute, Besmir Bojku reacted best in the scramble in front of goal and, with a precise 16-metre shot, found the net to make it 1-0.
The hosts tried to get back into the game quickly. In the 17th minute, Nuhija unleashed a powerful shot from 20 metres, but goalkeeper Vasilev produced a fantastic save to tip the ball over for a corner.
The key moment came in the 27th minute. Todorov pulled Struga forward Agamoa by the shirt inside the penalty area. Following a VAR review, referee Iljoski pointed to the spot and showed Todorov a straight red card. Marjan Radeski confidently converted, calmly scoring to make it 2-0.
Struga continued to attack until the end of the first half. In the 41st minute, Bojku unleashed a real „bomb“ from 30 metres, but the crossbar saved Stolevski. In the 44th minute, following a quick counter-attack, Agamoa found Shabani brilliantly, but Stolevski made a supreme effort to save his 7-metre shot.
The pace of the game remained high in the second half as well. In the 55th minute, Shabani found himself with another chance, but Stolevski was in position once again. The hosts threatened for the first time in the 60th minute through Ariton Mehmedi, whose shot hit the outside of the net. The Struga side immediately responded with more dangerous attacks. In the 65th minute, Bojku played the ball to Diako, but Stolevski saved again. In the 66th minute, Arbi Vosha crossed from the right, but Shabani once again lost the duel with the home goalkeeper. Shkendija Arachinovo’s best opportunity fell to Fazlagić in the 72nd minute, but he shot wide from 9 metres.
In the closing stages, Struga missed chances to secure an even more convincing victory. In the 80th minute, Maleski rounded the goalkeeper but shot over the goal. A minute later, Marko Simonovski fired over the crossbar of the visitors’ goal. The final chance of the match fell to Fazlagić, who sent the ball over the goal from just 3 metres.
