Pelister put an emphatic stamp on their cup campaign with a 6:1 victory over Studeničani in the Round of 32. The match took place on 2026-09-02 at 14:30 local time. It was a comprehensive display from the visitors, who were never really threatened after finding their rhythm early on.
Studeničani started with some belief, but Pelister's quality told in the end. The hosts had their moments, particularly in the opening exchanges, but couldn't sustain any pressure. And here's the thing — when you concede that many goals in a cup tie, you're not just beaten, you're dismantled.
Pelister came into this fixture with decent momentum. They had beaten Македония GP 1:0 on 2026-08-29, followed by a 0:0 draw with Академия Пандев three days earlier. Before that, a 1:1 stalemate against Камяни and a 2:4 defeat to Новац had shown they could score freely but also leak goals at times. The 1:0 win over Шкендия Харацыне on 2026-08-01 rounded out their recent run.
Studeničani, by contrast, found themselves on the wrong end of a result that reflected a gulf in class. One goal was hardly a consolation — it was simply a marker that the game had been put beyond reach long before the final whistle. The scoreline tells you everything about how this match played out.
Pelister will feel they've announced themselves in this competition. A comfortable away win like this builds confidence and sets up whatever comes next. Studeničani have their work cut out to find some answers before the season slips away from them.
