Прилеп and Струга played out a 29:29 draw in the Superleague on Saturday, 3 October 2026. The result ended a run of three consecutive victories for the home side and left both clubs with a point each. Струга had come into the match unbeaten in four games, while Прилеп sat sixth with five points from four outings.
By then the home side had been building momentum, winning 38:31 against Куманово and 31:29 over Бутел Скопье in their previous fixtures. Струга, meanwhile, had only managed one win all season, drawing twice and losing once. To be fair, the visitors had shown resilience, particularly in their 26:24 victory over Бутел Скопье.
And here's the thing — we had tipped the home side to win, with 68 per cent confidence. The match went another way entirely. Струга found no answer to the pressure in the opening period but then tightened up, and by the time the home side thought they had it won, the visitors had equalised again. The final whistle found both sides level, each having scored 29 goals.
The result keeps Струга in seventh place with two points from four games, while Прилеп remains sixth on five points. The visitors have now drawn three of their four matches, a pattern that suggests they are difficult to beat but struggle to pull away from opponents. Прилеп's single loss this season came against Охрид.
What the draw means for the table is that the gap between sixth and seventh stays at three points. Both sides have played the same number of games, and neither can claim dominance yet. Струга's unbeaten run continues, though it is built on draws rather than victories. Прилеп will need to find a way through against stronger opposition if they want to climb.
