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.
