Tactical story

Ohrid lined up in a 4-2-3-1 and looked to dominate the middle third through quick combinations. Their No. 10 found space between the lines repeatedly, and the wide players stretched the Gorno Lisice defence. The home side’s pressing was intelligent, cutting off passing lanes and forcing long balls that were easily dealt with by the centre-backs.

Gorno Lisice struggled to build from the back in the first hour. Their switch to a more direct 4-4-2 after the break gave them a foothold, and the introduction of fresh legs on the flanks caused Ohrid problems. The visitors’ goal came from their best period of pressure, but they could not find a second despite a tense finale.

Standout players

Ohrid’s midfielder controlled the tempo and was involved in both goals, while the left winger constantly beat his marker and delivered dangerous crosses. The Ohrid goalkeeper was alert when called upon, making a strong save late in the first half. For Gorno Lisice, the substitute forward changed the game after coming on and scored the consolation goal that set up a nervous finish.

What it means

The win lifts FK Ohrid 2004 up the North Macedonia Second Football League table and reinforces their credentials as a side capable of competing for promotion. FK Gorno Lisice remain in search of consistency away from home, though their second-half performance offered encouragement. Three points at home are always valuable, and Ohrid will be pleased with both the result and the resilience shown in the final minutes.
