Struga ran riot against Aresimi in the First League's eighth round on Monday, winning 6:0 at home. The match, played on 2026-09-21, saw the hosts open the scoring inside twenty minutes and never look back. By then, the visitors had already been reduced to ten men, though that came later. The result extends Struga's unbeaten run to eight and leaves Aresimi reeling with four defeats from eight games.
The opening goal arrived at the twenty-second minute, a sharp strike that set the tone. M. Radeski doubled the lead fifty-seven minutes in, and here's the thing — the game changed shape after that. Mislimi picked up a second yellow card at sixty-two minutes, and the red card decision was overturned by momentum rather than controversy. Aresimi's full-back had a torrid evening, caught between pressing and tracking back.
Radeski struck again sixty-six minutes in, then Aliji added a seventh goal just three minutes later. The hosts pushed further at seventy-five and eighty, with Radeski completing his hat-trick and Rochi finding the net. The eighth goal came at eighty-eight minutes, a late flourish from a team that had already won the contest. We had called for a home victory before kick-off, and the confidence was 68 per cent — fair enough, given this was a side that had hit a wall on their travels.
The statistics tell a story of dominance. Struga enjoyed 57 per cent possession and fired seventeen shots on target, while Aresimi managed just two. The home side registered 188 attacks against 155 for the visitors, and the shots accuracy figures — 0.63 versus 0.50 — underline the gulf. Aresimi's two yellow cards and one red tell another tale entirely.
Struga sit second in the table with seventeen points from eight games, five wins and two draws. Aresimi are seventh with eight points, their record of two victories and four defeats speaking for itself. The hosts have the deeper squad, and tonight they showed it. The old head settled them down when the visitors pushed back, and that's what separates these two sides at this level.
