FC Rabotnicki welcomes FC Shkendija tomorrow in the round of 16 of the Cup of Macedonia. The match will be played on the field of FFM, starting at 2 pm.

After the championship defeat against Vardar, coach Milan Ilievski expects the players to play much better, to show that they can turn the season in a positive direction.

„Tomorrow’s match against FC Shkendija in the Cup is the real chance for FC Rabotnicki that he can do much better. It probably cannot be worse than the edition we had against FC Vardar. I think that now we all need to gather strength and show that we are capable of much more. Desire, toughness, character, winning spirit, these are the characteristics that have always adorned FC Rabotnicki and this team must know that it has to show such games. We had one match against FC Shkendija in the championship this season, we had the lead until extra time, and then we conceded two goals and lost. I hope that we learned a lot from those mistakes and I believe that we will be much, much better than the previous match”, said the head coach Milan Ilievski.
