Teteks took three points away from home as they beat Shkupi 1927 3:1 in the third matchday of the Second League Regular Season on Sunday. The result leaves Shkupi 1927 rooted at the bottom of the table with two defeats from two games, while Teteks moved up to tenth place after recording their first point of the campaign.
Shkupi 1927 had begun the season badly enough, losing 0:2 to Kozuv Gevgelija and then 0:2 to Detonit Plakovichа. This latest failure extends a troubling run that stretches back to last season, when the club suffered heavy defeats including 0:6 and 0:7 results. To be fair, the team has now lost both matches this campaign without managing a single point.
Teteks arrived with mixed recent form, having drawn 1:1 with Macedonia GP before taking a 0:2 loss to Kamani. Their previous season showed flashes of attacking power with results like 9:0 and 7:2, but consistency has been elusive. By then, they had only played one match this season and were sitting on a single point from a draw.
The visitors made the most of their opportunity, running out comfortable winners against a home side that seemed to lack something in the final third. Shkupi 1927's defensive frailties are becoming a pattern, and this result does little to ease the pressure on the coaching staff.
With Shkupi 1927 now two points behind the top half and Teteks just outside the relegation zone, both clubs face urgent questions. The hosts must find a way to stop conceding freely, while Teteks need to convert their points into wins if they want to climb higher in the table.
