KF Shkëndija 1:3 Tikveš Kavadarci — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Tikveš Kavadarci won 1-3 away to KF Shkëndija in the 1. MFL, with Mile Todorov standing out as the visitors' best performer on a 7.25 rating. The hosts' early dominance counted for nothing as the away side struck first through a 19th-minute opener that set the tone for a disciplined defensive display.

The match turned decisively after the hour mark, when Tikveš doubled their lead in the 60th minute before KF Shkëndija briefly responded with a 67th-minute strike. Any hope of a comeback evaporated five minutes later as Tikveš restored their two-goal cushion in the 72nd minute, and the hosts' afternoon unravelled completely when they received a red card in the 77th minute, having already collected three yellow cards in a fractious first hour.

The statistics tell a tale of possession without penetration, as KF Shkëndija controlled 64% of the ball and won five corners to Tikveš's two, yet created little of note. Tikveš were ruthlessly efficient on the counter and fully merited the points despite seeing less of the play. Mile Todorov earned the highest rating of the match despite not scoring, anchoring the visitors' shape throughout, and his composure proved pivotal in a contest where the home side's pressure never translated into sustained threat.
