The teams of Sileks и Macedonia Gjorce Petrov on Friday (May 20) will play at the final of the Macedonian Cup starting at 18.00 at the National Arena "Todor Proeski".

Sileks will try to win the fourth trophy in the club history of the oldest football competition in our country, while the "lions" from Gjorce Petrov will play for the second cup title.

The team of Sileks, which returns to the First Football League next season, was better than Pelister in the semifinals, while Macedonia Gjorce Petrov overcame the last obstacle before the final match, Struga Trim Lum, through the penalty roulette.

- Sileks dropped out last year, but won the Cup. We are the defenders of the trophy and we are the only second league that will defend the trophy. Whichever player plays in the final will give the maximum. We respect our opponent who was in the game until the last round of the season to enter Europe through the league, while the victories over Bregalnica and Pelister opened a chance for us for a new Cup final. We will do our best, but I hope that football will win. There are no favorites in such matches, but still the opponent as in the first league will have a slight advantage. It will be wonderful to complete the return to the elite with a new trophy in the Cup and a performance in Europe - says the coach of Sileks, Zoran Mihailov.

The "lions" from Gjorce Petrov, who eliminated Akademija Pandev, Struga TZ and the new champion Shkupi, have their own mathematics for today's match. The strategist from Gjorcepetrovci said that his players have quality and that they can win the trophy.

- We all know that we will have a final against Sileks, a match for which we are ready. We are completely deserved in the final because we eliminated Akademija Pandev, Shkupi, Struga. I think we have quality, and I believe we can win the trophy. We respect the team of Sileks to the maximum, regardless of the fact that this season was in the second league, but it is the current winner of the Cup. We analyzed their game and saw that it is a great team led by a great coach. They know what they are doing at every moment, and they literally walked through the second league. We have quality, for me this is the first final as a coach, and I have won it twice as a player with Sloga J in 2004 and Renova in 2012. I hope for my first triumph as a coach. We do not hide, we want victory, we want the cup, we want to go to Europe - thinks the coach of Macedonia Gjorce Petrov, Muarem Bajrami.
