Butele Skopje played out a 30-30 draw with Mladost 1977 in the Superleague on 5 September 2026. The result leaves both sides with a single point from their opening fixture. Neither team managed to separate themselves on the scoreboard.
A draw tends to suit the visitors more in these circumstances. Mladost 1977 brought just one match to the table — a 25-22 win against Struga on 3 June — and came away with something resembling a victory. Butele Skopje, by contrast, have been playing more regularly this season.
The hosts have not been short of games. They lost 21-26 to Vardar on 14 August, then dropped 29-31 to Prilep the following day. Before that came a 34-36 defeat to Vardar in May and a 21-37 loss to Alkaloid. The pattern is familiar: they keep their side in it, but the margins have been tight.
Mladost 1977's solitary result this season was a win, and they showed they could finish a match. Against Butele they did not travel to make up the numbers, yet they held firm. The scoreline suggests a game that stayed even throughout.
One point each after round one. The table is still empty of meaning, but the draw tells you something about where both teams stand right now.
