Andorra 0 Macedonia 2:MACEDONIA moved on to four points in Group B thanks to a 2-0 victory in Andorra yesterday.
Ilco Naumoski set the ball rolling for Mirsad Jonuz’s side three minutes before half-time and Vance Šikov assured them of victory on the hour.
It marked a measure of revenge for the away side, who took just a solitary point from Andorra in their two 2006 World Cup qualifiers.
Naumoski broke the deadlock with a clinical header from Vlade Lazarevski’s corner.
Andorra found themselves two down after an hour when they once again failed to deal with a corner – this time from substitute Mario Gjurovski – and Šikov pounced.
José Antonio Gómes prevented another replacement, Agim Ibraimi, adding a third three minutes from time, but the damage had been done, leaving Macedonia in high spirits ahead of the visit of Russia on Tuesday.
