FK Pobeda won their first Macedonian Cup with tonight's 3-1 defeat of FK Cementarnica 55.
Gjokic opener
Pobeda went ahead through striker Miroslav Gjokic in the 21st minute after a free-kick from Nikolce Zdraveski. Cementarnica fought back in the second half, however, and Aleksandar Toleski levelled with a shot from 30 metres in the 79th minute.
Late penalty
Pobeda responded eight minutes later when Toni Micevski set up Pance Kumbev for their second. Pance Risteski struck Pobeda's third in the final minute, scoring from the penalty spot after Gjokic was fouled.
