Goce Sedloski still winless in ninth match; first goal under his reign after 777 minutes
North Macedonia fell 2–1 to Scotland; Sedloski is still without a win in his ninth game and the team scored its first goal under him after 777 minutes.
Goce Sedloski remains without a victory as head coach after his ninth match in charge: North Macedonia lost 2–1 to Scotland in Glasgow on November 13, 2026. The result extended a difficult run for the national team, even though the side finally registered its first goal under Sedloski.
Match overview
The goal that brought some relief arrived after a long drought — the first under Sedloski came only after 777 minutes without a strike. That landmark arrived amid a campaign of mixed performances but few rewards.
On the night at Hampden Park the hosts took the win, the game finishing Scotland 2–1 North Macedonia. Statistically the defeat represents the fifth loss in nine matches for Sedloski’s side.
Despite the scoreline, North Macedonia created chances and at times looked competitive; several observers judged this to be one of the team’s stronger displays in the current UEFA Nations League B cycle, but chances were not converted into the point(s) needed.
The team now turns its attention to the next fixture: a home match against Slovenia on Monday, November 16, 2026, where North Macedonia will seek its first positive result under Sedloski.
For the coach and supporters the debate will continue over tactics and personnel, but the facts are clear — nine matches, no wins, and the small consolation of a long-awaited goal after 777 minutes.
