HC Alkaloid opened their 2026 campaign with a league victory over HC Prolet 62, extending their winning streak ahead of the final three rounds of the first phase of the season.

The hosts were without national team players Marko Mitev, Martin Serafimov, Ivan Djonov, Marko Stojkovic, and Nenad Kosteski. This allowed more minutes for David Trajkoski, Aleksandar Petkovski, and Damjan Mitev, while left-handed back Filip Nikolov made his debut in the blue-and-white jersey following his winter transfer.

Filip Nikolov scored his first goal in the sixth minute to give HC Alkaloid their first lead of the match (4-3). The score was tied at 6-6 in the 10th minute, before goals from Gjorgiev, Borzas, and Damjan Mitev gave the hosts their first significant advantage at 9-6.

The difference ranged between two and four goals until halftime, which ended 17-14.

HC Alkaloid entered the second half with greater focus and gradually increased their lead. In the 35th minute they were ahead by six (21-15), and five minutes later the margin grew to eight (24-16). In the 44th minute, Filip Nikolov’s sixth goal secured the first double-digit lead of the match at 28-18.

The home side’s largest advantage was 34-23 before the visitors responded with a 4-0 run to reduce the deficit.

In the next round, HC Alkaloid will travel to Bitola to face HC Eurofarm Pelister 2.
