Eurofarm Pelister secured a comfortable 36-23 victory over Kumanovo in the Macedonian Superliga on Thursday evening. The result, set at the 15:30 kickoff, extended the home side's grip on their campaign while deepening Kumanovo's struggles in the lower reaches of the table.
Three points clear of the drop zone, Eurofarm Pelister sit third with nine points from five matches. Their record of four wins and one defeat contrasts sharply with Kumanovo's bottom-of-the-table position — twelve points below the hosts, sitting on a solitary point from five games.
The home side arrived with mixed form, having dropped points in consecutive outings: a 31-31 draw with Wisza Gdask on October 6th followed by a 24-31 loss to La Rioja on September 30th. They had bounced back with wins against Butel Skopje and Struga, but Kumanovo offered little resistance. The visitors, meanwhile, had not tasted victory since the season began, collecting four draws and two defeats across their last five matches.
The 13-goal margin tells its own story. Kumanovo could manage only one point from five outings, while Eurofarm Pelister's fourth win of the campaign keeps them within striking distance of the top positions. The gap between them in the table now stands at eleven points.
For Eurofarm Pelister, the result reinforces their status as genuine contenders. For Kumanovo, another heavy defeat adds to a campaign defined by draws and losses — a pattern that leaves them firmly rooted in twelfth place with little to show for their efforts so far.
