Arsimi and Shkendija Tetovo shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw during the seventh round of the First League on Friday evening. The result leaves Shkendija top of the table with fifteen points, while Arsimi remain seventh with seven.
Shkendija took the lead through B. Ibraimi in the eighteenth minute, but Arsimi responded before half-time. A. Meljichi equalised for the visitors in the twenty-ninth, and D. Contreras struck twice, first in the fourty-fifth minute plus one, then again in the eightieth.
There were six yellow cards between the sides. M. Goni and J. Manev were booked early on, followed by F. Ramani just before the interval. Two more yellows came in stoppage time, and one was issued in the eightieth minute without a name attached to the data.
The statistics show a evenly matched contest. Both teams held fifty percent possession and registered seven shots on target. Shkendija created more attacks with one hundred and twenty-nine compared to Arsimi's ninety-one, yet their conversion rate told a different story.
For Shkendija the point feels like a missed opportunity. They had won five of their previous six league games before this evening, and a victory would have extended their lead at the summit. Arsimi, meanwhile, ended a run of three matches without a win.
