Two of the goals in Skopje were scored in added time

Wales and North Macedonia played out a dramatic draw in Skopje in their Group J clash during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The match saw an explosive finish with both sides scoring in stoppage time.

Bojan Miovski, striker for Girona and the North Macedonian national team, appeared to have secured all three points for the hosts with a late goal in added time. But David Brooks of AFC Bournemouth stunned the home crowd by equalizing in the dying seconds, rescuing a vital point for Wales.

Both teams now sit on 4 points in the group standings, but Wales remain second due to a superior goal difference, having conceded one more goal than North Macedonia.
