Ohrid secured a 2:1 victory against Novaki in the Second League on Saturday, 15 August 2026. The home side maintained their perfect start to the campaign, moving further clear in the standings. And here's the thing — this wasn't the first time these two had met this season.
Ohrid sit second in the table with three wins from three matches, collecting nine points. Novaki, meanwhile, remain rooted to 13th place with just one point from four games. To be fair, the gulf between them was evident from the result alone.
The visitors had previously edged a 1:0 win over Ohrid back in July, so there was history to settle. By then, Novaki had shown glimpses of competitiveness, notably beating Pelišter 4:2 in their most recent outing. But this time, the hosts found their rhythm.
Ohrid's recent form has been impressive — seven goals scored in their last three matches before this one. Novaki, on the other hand, have managed just one win all season and have lost three of their last four outings. The contrast in momentum told its own story.
The result extends Ohrid's unbeaten run and keeps their title aspirations firmly on track. Novaki's search for points continues, with another defeat adding to their struggles. Three points on the board means everything when you're at the bottom.
