F.Y.R. Macedonia round-up: Belasica into over-drive

FK Belasica GC beat FK Cementarnica 55 5-0 this afternoon to hang on to top spot in the Prva Fudbalska Liga championship play-off group.

Baldovaliev double
The opener came from Yugoslavian striker Sead Kolasinac after only three minutes and his compatriot Ljubisa Nikolic doubled the lead five minutes later, before the 18-year-old Zoran Baldovaliev struck twice in the closing minutes of the half.

Spot-kick
Baldovaliev was denied his hat-trick in the 72nd minute when his goalbound shot was handled on the line, although Nikolic converted the subsequent penalty to complete the rout.

Close behind
Belasica stay a point clear of FK Vardar, who beat FK Rabotnicki 3-1. Dejan Ristovski's 16th-minute goal was cancelled out by Rogerio Oliveira's equaliser in the 22nd minute. However, Ristovski restored the lead after the break and Mario Petkov completed the scoring soon after.

Goalless affair
FK Pobeda drew 0-0 with FK Sloga Jugomagnat in the championship group's other game.

Late drama
In the relegation group, FK Sileks' poor form continued as they were beaten 3-2 by the bottom team FK Makedonija Skopje. After falling behind to two goals in the opening eight minutes, Sileks fought back to level the scores at 2-2, but Makedonija's Dragan Aleksandrovic scored the winner in the 90th minute.

Angelov delight
FK Napredok closed on the relegation group leaders with a 2-0 win over FK Pelister. Toni Angelov scored both goals for Napredok in the first period and in the group's other game, FK Kumanovo drew 1-1 with FK Osogovo.
