Vardar collected a hard fought 0:0 draw in Nicosia to give itself a chance in the return leg, to be played on July 21 in Skopje.

Shkendija and Renova were eliminated, but Rabotnichki managed to overcome the first leg defeat and advance to the next qualifying round. Below are some reactions from players on the three Macedonian clubs.

Shkendija put up a brave fight over the two games against Aberdeen, but the Scottish team won on away goals to move on in the Europa League qualifications.

Rabotnichki became the sole Macedonian participant in the Europa League to advance to the second qualifying road.

Dacia, the team from Moldova, thoroughly outplayed Renova to book a place in the next round of the Europa League qualifications.

Shkendija continued its impressive haul this transfer market with the addition of 20-year-old attacker Marjan Radeski.

A third Macedonian representative in the Europa League seemed headed for a 1:0 loss, but Shkendija grabbed a late equalizer to draw 1:1 against Aberdeen.

Just like Renova on Tuesday, Rabotnichki began its Europa League qualifications campaign with a 1:0 loss.

The Ministry of Interior has filed criminal charges against Sileks player Stojan Velinov for match fixing.

To mark the opening qualifier for a Macedonian team in this year’s Europa League qualifications, Renova began with a 1:0 home loss to Dacia.
