The first half ended goalless, and the match was still waiting for its moment at Tose Proeski National Arena in Skopje. That arrived in the 85th minute, when Krstevski scored the only goal of the night for Shkendija Tetovo. The late strike settled the score and supplied the standout highlights in a contest that remained finely balanced almost to full time.
For Shkendija, the result followed their 5-0 win in the previous meeting with Europa FC, meaning they outscored the same opponent 6-0 across the two games. The basic stats were simple: one goal, none conceded, another win. Europa kept the scoreline down until the closing stages but could not find a reply once they fell behind, and no further scoring changes followed before full time.
