Shkendija Arachinovo and Silex draw 1-1 after VAR calls

In the second round of the First Macedonian League, FC Shkendija Arachinovo hosted FC Silex. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with Besir Demiri scoring the opening goal for Shkendija in the 32nd minute.

Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology was decisive in three key moments: it confirmed an off‑side call, overturned a potential penalty for Silex in the first half, and later awarded a penalty to Silex after a VAR review in the 84th minute, leading to the equaliser. The interventions demonstrated the Macedonian Football Federation's continued implementation of VAR protocols.
