Tikvesh 3–1 Bashkimi — Nfanli Sila scores twice and assists

Tikvesh defeated Bashkimi 3-1 in Kavadarci on 25.10.2026 at 15:55 in the final match of the 11th round of the Prva Liga.

Sila turns the game after coming on

The decisive moment arrived after the break when substitute Nfanli Sila — the forward from Guinea — changed the match. He came on in the second half and within minutes helped decisivey: after a 1-0 lead that arrived in the 51st minute, Laval had a chance to double the advantage, but Sila sealed the 2-0 two minutes later and later provided the assist for Fal's 3-0 in the 63rd minute.

Before the breakthrough, Tikvesh had struggled to break down Bashkimi's defence. Aliu produced an excellent performance in goal for the visitors and Visdom hit the crossbar for the hosts.

Sila's second goal brought his tally to 10 for the season, keeping him comfortably the league's top scorer and showing he is more than a finisher given his assist for the third goal. Lucianinho missed a clear chance to extend the lead in the 73rd minute, and Limani pulled one back for Bashkimi in the 88th to make the final score 3-1.

With the victory Tikvesh moved to 20 points and rejoined the leading group: Shkendija 24, Struga TL 23, Vardar 21 and Tikvesh 20. Next up for Tikvesh is an away trip to Shkendija Arachinovo — the only team to have beaten Tikvesh this season — leaving the question whether this will be the moment for revenge.
