During the first half, the Eagles were by far the better side. Right from the start, they were successfully pressing the opponents, causing the defense all kinds of problems. Zlatinov took advantage of such a situation and scored a beautiful goal after an excellent attack in the 9th minute. The Macedonians stepped up quickly, creating a dangerous situation after a mistake in Pirin’s defense, but Ganev saved perfectly, knocking the ball in a corner, which, however, resulted in a equalizing goal after a melee in the 20th minute.
In the 26th Zlatinov was again close to goal but his free kick was saved by the keeper.
Ivan Valchanov and Ivaylo Mihaylov created a clean goal situation in the 33rd minute,but wrong decisions led to a miss.
Henderson delivered an excellent pass to Mikhailov at the end of the half, but the young striker missed in millimeters with the ball before striking.
The second part started with a goal from the changing room for Macedonia by Gyorce Petrov after a forward was left alone in front of the penalty area and fired the ball from 23 meters in the upper left corner. The greens managed to return the goal quickly, when in the 60th minute Blagov worked a penalty, which Zlatinov coolly took for the final 2: 2.
In the 70th minute, manager Warren Feeney made a complete change of the eleven.
By the end of the match, Gabriel Da Silva twice was able to win it for the Green, but made the wrong decisions.
The next friendly for Pirin is on Wednesday, against the Polish team Termalika.
