Kamenyani and Osogovo met in the Second League on Saturday, and the home side took all three points with a 2:1 victory. By then, both teams had played three games each, though their records told very different stories.
To be fair, this was not a match where one team dominated from the start. Kamenyani came into the fixture sitting ninth with four points, while Osogovo languished in eleventh on just one. The gap in confidence showed through.
And here's the thing about Osogovo's recent form — they have not won since the summer. A 0:1 defeat to Belasica on their last outing followed a 1:1 draw with Pobeda Valandovo and a heavy 3:3 loss to Novaki. They kept knocking on the door but never quite got through.
Kamenyani, meanwhile, had shown flashes of promise. They beat Teteks 2:0 and drew with Pelister, though that 2:4 loss to Aresimi reminded everyone how fragile their defence could be. Against Osogovo, they put the game to bed early enough to avoid any drama.
The result means Kamenyani extend their unbeaten run to five matches across all competitions, while Osogovo's winless streak in the league stretches to three games. Their points total of one leaves them looking over their shoulder already.
