Tonight, the Macedonian national football team played the match against Malta in the qualifiers for the European Championship, in which they scored a 2:1 victory with the goals in the second half.

We accepted the role of favorite, but still it had to be proved on the field, such were the messages before the match from our camp. The first 20 minutes of the match passed without serious chances. The ball was in our possession, but those 100% scoring opportunities were missing.

The most serious threat, if you can say the most serious, was after a corner with a header, Elmas he came close to the penalty area twice with a dangerous attack, but was left without a finish.

The 35th minute was played when Alioski thrust, a Bojan Miovski although he was in a good position, he still didn't head the ball well. Miovski again had an opportunity after a cross four minutes before the end of the half, but it also passed harmlessly.

We saw the same picture on the field after the first 15 minutes of the second half, then Bardi after an hour of play he made the first shot within the goal. In that situation, a penalty was awarded for Macedonia, but after the reaction of the VAR, it was canceled.

We finally broke Malta's resistance in the 66th minute with Elmas' goal, and after that moment our game seemed easier. The newcomer Darko Churlinov six minutes later he scored another goal for Macedonia's already certain advantage.

After one confusion in our defense Janik Janka in the 84th minute he scored the consolation goal for Malta and thus set the final score.
