Vardar opened the spring half-season in the PMFL in an impressive manner, outclassing Arsimi 5-1 and sending a clear message to its competitors in the race for the title.
After Shkendija's triumph over Struga, the victory of the "red-blacks" gained even greater weight, and Goce Sedloski's team now has a four-point advantage at the top. The dilemmas surrounding the outcome were resolved in the first 45 minutes, when Vardar scored four goals and practically knocked out the opponent.
The match at the FFM stadium was marked by excellent performances from both new and returning names in the squad. Stefan Cvetkovic opened the scoring in the sixth minute after an assist from Zakaric, announcing the goal. In the 18th minute, Boban Nikolov increased the advantage, after Omeragic provided him with a great header.
After half an hour of play, after a corner kick, Darko Velkovski did his best in the penalty area and made it 3-0 with a header, and before the very end of the first half, Nemanja Bosančić made it 4-0 after the first 45 minutes.
In the extra time, Vardar routinely maintained control, and Azer Omeragic scored for 5-0.
Arsimi scored the winning goal from the penalty spot, after Taleski first made a mistake and then made a penalty. Tsutsuli was precise from 11 meters.
The guests finished the match with a player less due to Dardishta's suspension.
