Macedonian football star, Goran Pandev played very well yesterday by scoring twice for his team Lazio Roma against northern Torino in Sunday’s match.

By his two magnificent goals he brought the “Biancocelesti” edged closer to the final Champions League place, currently occupied by Empoli. The gap between the two sides is now just a point.
Pandev opened the scoring in the 11th minute, the striker opting to clip the ball over Toro keeper Christian Abbiati when a powerful strike was expected by all.

The Macedonian sealed the win with his second on the hour mark after Stefano Mauri had played him in with a lovely reverse pass. Pandev did the rest, finishing with typical aplomb to give Delio Rossi's side all three points.

Other news in football, Artim Sakiri is back in the game again after a period without club, he signed a contract with Liechtenstein’s Vaduz which competes in the swiss league, for 6 months while Macedonian league top scorer, Stevica Ristic signed for the Korean club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, who were last year’s winners of the Asian Champions league.

MD: Nice news for them, Sakiri propably ended his national team career, because of his age and Stevica Ristic just started to play for the nt in the last game against Albania, in which he scored the winning goal.
