After its very successful run in Group J of the World Cup qualifiers, Macedonia suffered a massive defeat to Wales, losing 7:1.
The rhythm of the team was off from the start, especially after Stojcevski gifted a penalty to Wales, and we hardly recovered. Wales kept attacking throughout the match and even the goal from Miovski in the 23rd minute, that briefly reduced Wales’ lead to 2:1, was not enough to restore the cohesion in our team.
Macedonia is now ranked third in its group and will face an additional opponent for a chance to reach the World Cup – possibly either Italy, Turkey, Ukraine or Denmark.
