This was followed at 31 minutes when Mirzaev Sardor took the cross in from the left to finish cleanly.
The second half saw Manager Mario Gjurovski use up all five substitutions available under the new rules. This was a chance for several academy players to feature in a league match, and they didn't disappoint, bringing a new tempo to the game, and driving up the shot count to 24.
