Macedonian
title-holders
FK

a
flying
start
to
their
UEFA
Champions
League
campaign
with
a
3-0
first
qualifying
round
home
leg
victory
against
Welsh
side
Barry
Town
AFC.
Brazilian

Dos
Santos
was
on
top
form
for
Vardar
with
two
of
the
goals,
with

Ristovski
scoring
the
other.
It
was
a
tight
struggle
for
much
of
the
first
half,
both
teams
missing
a
couple
of
chances
before
Dos
Santos
delighted
the
5,000
home
fans
on
37
minutes
with
the
opening
goal.
In
the
second
half
Vardar
were
more
dominant
as
Ristovski
doubled
Vardar's
advantage
four
minutes
after
the
break.
Dos
Santos
then
claimed
his
second
goal
of
the
night
21
minutes
from
full
time
to
complete
the
joint-biggest
victory
margin
of
the
2003/04
Champions
League's
opening
night
and
make
Vardar
hot
favourites
to
progress
to
meet
PFC
CSKA
Moskva
of
Russia
in
the
second
qualifying
round.
