Struga claimed a narrow 1:0 victory over Silex in the first league's regular season round six on Sunday afternoon. The result keeps the home side in third place while the visitors drop to fifth. It was a match decided by a single moment rather than sustained pressure.
L. Diako proved decisive when he found the net in the 59th minute. The home side had controlled possession at 55 per cent but struggled to turn those numbers into clear chances. And here's the thing — they registered three shots on target compared to Silex's two, yet the difference was in clinical finishing.
Discipline became a factor as the match progressed. Struga received a yellow card just before the interval at 45 plus two minutes. Silex accumulated two bookings in quick succession, one at 80 and another at 89 minutes, suggesting frustration was mounting. By then the result was already settled.
The statistics tell a story of territorial dominance without penetration. Struga recorded 193 attacks against Silex's 137, along with seven corners to three. Yet the home side managed only one goal from those opportunities — a reminder that possession means little without purpose.
The victory moves Struga to 10 points from five matches, maintaining their position in the upper half. Silex remain on 7 points with one more defeat to their name. The gap between them widens by three points after this encounter.
