HC Alkaloid and HC Eurofarm Pelister split the points for the second time this season in their head-to-head derby encounters.

Tonight in Bitola, as part of Round 14 of the Super League, HC Alkaloid showed character and quality, battling relentlessly until the final second to secure a dramatic 26-26 draw and return home with a valuable point.

Spurred on by a packed crowd at the Boro Churlevski arena, the hosts opened the match with a 6-3 lead, but HC Alkaloid quickly responded with their own strengths. A solid transition game from defense to attack, backed by goalkeeper Marko Kizikj, who had an excellent start, and Igor Gjorgiev, who converted five of Alkaloid’s next seven goals without a miss, restored balance on the scoreboard that lasted until the 20th minute.

A series of missed chances by HC Alkaloid then allowed the home side to build a lead of up to five goals (17-12), and the teams headed into halftime with Eurofarm Pelister in front, 17-13.

The pattern from the closing stages of the first half carried into the opening 10 minutes after the break. HC Alkaloid again struggled to beat the home goalkeeper on several occasions, and by the 40th minute, the hosts had stretched their advantage to its maximum at 23-16.

HC Alkaloid, however, showed resilience and composure, refusing to crack under the pressure of the euphoric atmosphere and the hosts’ surge, with the momentum beginning to shift steadily in their favor.

Goalkeeper Ivan Galevski played a crucial role in the minutes that followed, while pivot Marko Stojkovic delivered an outstanding performance and finished as Alkaloid’s top scorer. Still, it was the team effort that made the difference: the defense shut down the lanes, the offense found its rhythm after 10 minutes, and Martin Serafimov’s goal in the 40th minute for 22-24 dragged HC Alkaloid firmly back into the points race.

The match built to a dramatic finish, with attacks at both ends frequently resulting in seven-meter throws. In those decisive moments, Martin Serafimov and Ivan Galevski rose to the occasion. Serafimov remained flawless, while Galevski saved two of the three penalties awarded in the final three minutes, including a match-saving stop with just four seconds remaining at a level score.

HC Alkaloid claimed the points from the Super League mini-derby at the Avtokomanda arena, where they hosted CHC Tikvesh (33-24). The encounter carried added weight for the hosts, as Nikola Kosteski made his comeback to the lineup after a several-month layoff, marking a successful return from injury.

HC Alkaloid took control early, surging to a four-goal cushion after just eight minutes (7-3). The hosts, however, failed to build on that momentum, falling into a spell of errors and going eight minutes without scoring. CHC Tikvesh took full advantage, staging a complete comeback and, with a 6-0 run, turning the score around to 9-7 in their favor. A swift reaction brought HC Alkaloid back on level terms at 9-9, but consistency continued to fluctuate, and the contest settled into a goal-for-goal battle. At the break, HC Alkaloid edged ahead 14-13.

The second half saw our team turn to their strongest weapon – the fast break. A series of quick goals, sparked by solid defensive reactions, produced a commanding 21-15 lead by the 40th minute. From that point on, HC Alkaloid kept full control and avoided any late drama, unlike previous encounters with the same opponent at the Avtokomanda arena.

In the end, HC Alkaloid closed out the match with a nine-goal victory.

Seven-meter throws: 7/8 Suspensions: 8 min

HC Alkaloid returned empty-handed from the derby clash played at the Biljanini Izvori arena, where they faced hosts CHC Ohrid.

The match was deadlocked in the opening 15 minutes (6-6), after which the home side seized momentum, capitalizing on a period when HC Alkaloid were reduced to a man down, scoring a series of four goals to pull away to a 10-6 advantage.

That proved to be the turning point of the game, as it was the only phase in which one side managed to open up a clear gap.

The halftime score stood at 17-11, with HC Alkaloid also suffering a major blow after Marko Stojkovic received a straight red card in the closing moments of the first half.

In the second half, HC Alkaloid responded quickly, slicing two goals off the deficit and by the 45th minute were once again firmly in contention for points (20-22). In the final stretch, however, they came up empty on several key chances, allowing the home team to score with relative ease and re-establish a lead sufficient to secure the points.
