The Macedonian football team, after a break of 11 months, finally rejoiced at a victory against Armenia, which we beat last in Strumica, then with 3:1. Today we were better with 2:0.

The match started with our initiative, but Armenia was also able to threaten, although the Macedonian footballers were more specific in terms of scoring chances. He missed the biggest opportunity for us Elif Elmas in the 21st minute when one counter and the pass from Ennis Bardy went "one on one" with the opposing goalkeeper Chancarević who saved his shot.

The next good opportunity for Macedonia was missed by Enis Bardi at the end of the 30th minute when he tried to threaten the opponent's goal with something between a shot and a cross.

At the end of the first half, we were left with one player less after Djoko Zajkov earned a second yellow card with an unnecessary reaction and was sent off.

However, the fact that we were with one less player was not a problem to continue with the good game in the second half, And in such a situation we were the better opponent, Miovski missed a good opportunity after a pass from Elmas in the 63rd minute.

Macedonia took the lead with 20 minutes to go when Enis Bardi entered the scene with a masterful goal from a free kick, the goalkeeper Cancarević could not do anything and was only a spectator. After that goal, Armenia went all or nothing, and that opened up additional space for us, so in the 79th minute, Miovski made the final 2:0.
