Arian Rener, the hero of historic success: GFK Tikveš celebrates breakthrough to the final of the North Macedonia Cup, Slovenian the man of decision (VIDEO)
GFK Tikveš, a club founded 93 years ago, celebrates a historic success, in which a footballer from Slovenia also played a crucial role. Both Gal Kurež and Arian Rener were members of the club in the first part of the season, but the former Olimpija player has since left North Macedonia and signed for Rogaška. Arian Rener remained in Kavadarci and became the hero of his club on Wednesday.
In the semifinals of the North Macedonia Cup, they faced Shkupi, with both matches ending in a 0-0 draw. The breakthrough to the final was decided by penalties, with eight goals scored from the spot. The only miss came from Darko Ilieski, as the 28-year-old Arian Rener made an excellent save. This was enough for GFK Tikveš, who will now compete for their first major trophy in history on May 22nd. The club has previously been national champion twice, albeit when the Macedonian league was third or fourth in quality in the time of Yugoslavia.
Arian Rener and his teammates will face FK Voska Sport in the grand final, a club that only last year secured their first-ever promotion to the first league of North Macedonia.
