North Macedonia host the Faroe Islands at the Philip II Arena in Skopje on Monday for an international friendly, looking to make it two wins from two this month.
The Lions are coming off the back of a 2-1 win over Malta in their opening match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers earlier this week.
Drawn in a tough Group C alongside reigning European champions Italy and heavyweights England, the Balkan outfit were off to a good start in the capital as they aim to make a second appearance in the competition next year following their debut at Euro 2020.
Second-half goals from Elif Elmas and Darko Churlinov had Blagoja Milevski's side 2-0 up before Yannick Yankam pulled one back for the Falcons late on.
It was their first win in five games and North Macedonia will look to finish this international break with two wins from two.
The Faroe Islands were held to a 1-1 draw with Moldova in their own Euro qualifying match as Mads Mikkelsen's first-half opener was canceled out by Ion Nicolaescu from the penalty spot in the 87th minute.
The National Team are in Group E alongside the Czech Republic, Poland and Albania.
