F.Y.R. Macedonia round-up: Seven up for Rabotnicki

FK Rabotnicki went top of the Prva Fudbalska Liga after romping to a 7-0 victory over FK Sileks on Sunday.

Goals galore
Sase Milosevski and Kire Sterjov each netted twice while the Brazilian Roggerio Oliveira, the Yugoslav substitute Dule Nedeljkovic, and Goran Georgiev also put themselves on the scoresheet. Rabotnicki's vastly improved goal difference moved them above the former leaders FK Pobeda who fought out a thrilling 4-3 win against FK Osogovo.

Zdravevski hat-trick
Pobeda had to come from behind to claim all three points after the bottom club had taken a 3-1 lead. Ljupco Simoski and Mirce Natkov, with two, put Osogovo in command but a Nikolce Zdravevski hat-trick drew the scores level, before Blagojce Georgieski scored winner with five minutes remaining.

Broken leg
FK Belasica GC moved up to third after a 1-0 win over FK Vardar, despite playing most of the game with ten-men. Robert Hristovski was dismissed after 22 minutes for a tackle that broke Vardar striker Risto Bozinov's leg. Vanco Kostov netted the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 50th minute.

Champions beaten
FK Sloga Jugomagnat were beaten 2-0 at home by FK Cementarnica 55. The champions have now gone five game without a win and not even the appointment of new coach Gjore Jovanovski seems to be making much of an impression. Riste Naumov scored twice for Cementarnica in the 20th and 28th minutes. FK Kumanovo were beaten 2-0 by FK Napredok in the Sunday's other game, Abilj Demiri and Robert Endekovski scoring the goals.
