Mirchevski levels with penalty — Pelister 1:1 Kamjani
Mirchevski converted a penalty in the 85th minute to level the score 1:1 at the Petar Milosevski stadium in Bitola.
Pelister struggled until the final minutes to stave off defeat — on 16.08.2026, in the 85th minute, Mirchevski converted a penalty to make it 1:1 against debutants Kamjani at the Petar Milosevski stadium in Bitola.
The decisive moment came at the end
The visitors took the lead as early as the 31st minute with a goal from Trpeski and held the advantage for a long time, but the turnaround came only a few minutes before the end when the referee awarded a penalty to the hosts.
Mirchevski took responsibility and scored, thereby saving Pelister from SHAME, from HUMILIATION, from CATASTROPHE — and securing a point that avoided a complete defeat in front of the home crowd.
Kamjani players fiercely protested the penalty decision; it should be noted that in the Second League (VMFL) there is no VAR, which made the situation even tenser. The pitch did not look good and that was a topic of conversation after the match.
This was a match from Round 1 of the VMFL and the first slip for coach Borche Hristov's team — failing to beat a team debuting in the league will surely prompt discussion and changes in the upcoming fixtures.
Final score: Pelister – Kamjani 1:1, a point for each team and material to work on ahead of the next matches.
