Bregalnica win late in Gostivar — 4:3 over Arsimi as Nathaniel scores in 90+2

Bregalnica snatched a last-gasp 4:3 win at Arsimi in an 11th-round match of the Macedonian First Football League on 25 October 2026, after Nathaniel struck in the second minute of stoppage time to settle a roller‑coaster encounter.

Match flow and turning points

Arsimi opened the scoring in the 22nd minute through Kaba Jakupi after an early chance from Aliti that goalkeeper Filevski had kept out. Bregalnica answered before half-time: Kocev levelled in the 31st minute and Gligorov put the visitors 1:2 ahead in the 40th minute, leaving that score at the break.

The second half brought even more drama. Velkoski extended Bregalnica's lead in the 52nd minute to make it 1:3, but Arsimi mounted a furious comeback and, within five minutes, had pulled the game back to 3:3. First Goni found the net to reduce the deficit, then Ramadani produced a spectacular goal in the 64th minute to equalise.

Arsimi almost completed the turnaround: in the 70th minute Gaje had a clear chance and the Bregalnica goalkeeper Filevski erred, yet the hosts were denied a 4:3 lead by a combination of poor fortune and last-ditch defending.

The winner arrived in stoppage time when Nathaniel struck in the 90+2 minute to make it 3:4 and deliver a precious away victory for Bregalnica in what many will call one of the season's most entertaining matches so far.

The result keeps Bregalnica buoyed as the league approaches the second half of the campaign, while Arsimi will rue missed openings that might have changed the outcome.
