In the final of playoff D, the number 65 of the world rankings won 1-0 (0-0) against Georgia on Thursday night (12 November 2020) in Tbilisi. Goran Pandev, 37, of the Italian first division of FC Genoa scored the winning goal (56th minute), which ensured for the first time the participation of the “Red Lions” in an important tournament.

Premiere for North Macedonia

Even before the match, coach Igor Angelowski said: “We are happy to be in the final, but we don’t intend to stop there.” Apparently his players had listened carefully, but the plan worked. At EURO (11 June to 11 July 2021), North Macedonia will play in Group C against the Netherlands, Ukraine and Austria.

A little less than a month ago, the two teams met in the C-League of the Nations League and split 1: 1 for the second time in the second duel. In the playoff semifinals, Georgia won 1-0 against Belarus and North Macedonia 2-1 against Kosovo.
