Friendlies: Shkendija beaten in Podujevo; Bregalnica wins 4-2 at Mogila
Shkendija fell 0-1 in Podujevo (Ramadani 17') while Bregalnica beat Pelister 4-2 in Mogila — all six goals there came after halftime.
On October 3, 2026, two Macedonian clubs were involved in warm-up friendlies abroad and at home: Shkendija fell in Kosovo while Bregalnica beat Pelister in Mogila in a goal-filled second half.
In Podujevo, Shkendija lost 0-1 to the home side Lapi. The decisive moment came early when Ramadani scored in the 17th minute to give Lapi the win.
Coach Artim Polozani used the game to assess players' fitness and to hand opportunities to squad members who have seen limited minutes so far this season, treating the fixture as a test of depth rather than a result-focused outing.
Six second-half goals in Mogila
At Mogila, Pelister hosted Bregalnica in another friendly that ended 2-4 in favor of the visitors from Shtip. Unusually, all six goals arrived after the interval.
Pelister's goals were scored by Ivanovski (57') and Grozdanovski (73'). Bregalnica struck first in the second half through V. Nikolov (52') and then added goals from Velkovski (65'), Gjorgjiev (87') and D. Nikolov (90').
