HC Alkaloid faced Eurofarm Pelister in the derby of the round, with the clash at the Avtokomanda arena concluding in a 23-29 (14-18) defeat. The opening 20 minutes were evenly contested, as both sides alternated in taking the lead and controlling the flow of the game. However, the visitors capitalized in the closing five minutes of the first half, making the most of an extra player on the court to put together a scoring run that gave them an 18-14 advantage at the break.
The intensity only grew in the second half, with increased tension on the court leading to a series of suspensions that affected the game’s rhythm and outcome. Eurofarm Pelister extended their lead, but Alkaloid showed resilience, narrowing the gap to 20-21 with a burst of four consecutive goals. Despite this surge, they couldn’t complete the comeback and finished the match without securing any points against their rivals from Bitola.
