Match overview

The home side pressed high, won the ball back quickly in midfield and created repeated problems down the flanks. Teteks Tetovo U19 defended deep in an attempt to stay compact, but once Pelister opened the scoring, the game became increasingly one-sided.

• Clean sheet: The Pelister defence stayed focused throughout, limiting Teteks Tetovo U19 to efforts from distance and protecting the three-goal lead.

Tactical story

Pelister Bitola U19’s high pressing was the foundation of the win. Their midfield won second balls consistently, and their wide players stretched Teteks Tetovo U19’s back line, creating room for late runs into the penalty area. The home side also used set pieces well, forcing several nervous clearances in the first half.

Teteks Tetovo U19 tried to defend in a compact block and hit on the break, but they were too often isolated in possession.

What the win means

The three points give Pelister Bitola U19 a strong platform in the NM U19 league and underline their attacking potential.
