Vasil Tashovski seals winner for Mladost Lučani at Zemun

Vasil Tashovski scored the decisive goal as Mladost Lučani won away at Zemun, moving the young Macedonian forward into the spotlight in Serbia after his strike sealed victory in a tight game.

Born in 2007 in Belgrade and a member of North Macedonia’s youth national teams, Tashovski has recently earned a place in the senior setup and has begun to find opportunities with Lučani — a chance he took on the weekend with a match-winning contribution.

Turning point and context

Early in the match Tashovski opened the scoring, which allowed Mladost to play with more composure. The hosts were reduced to ten men before the final whistle, a factor that eased Lučani’s task in the closing stages and helped preserve the lead.

Reflecting on the game, Tashovski underlined the collective effort behind the goal and thanked his teammates and coaches for their trust. He also admitted that the type of finish was not something he does frequently.

“It was a tough and uncertain match. I'm glad my goal proved decisive, but I wouldn't have managed it without the help of my teammates. I thank everyone, as well as the coaching staff for the trust shown. I haven't scored in this way very often. Taking the lead early in the match allowed us to play more calmly. Of course, we were aware that the job was not finished yet, but we had control. It also helped that the opponent finished the match with ten men,” Tashovski said.
