Lazio striker Goran Pandev scored twice as FYR Macedonia inflicted a second friendly defeat on Qatar in an international friendly at the Philip II Arena in Skopje on Sunday.

Qatar, who started their European tour with a 3-2 defeat to Croatia, opened the scoring after 24 minutes when Mousa Haroun headed home a free-kick.

However, the joy of Bruno Metsu's squad lasted for only one minute as Pandev levelled the scores. The Lazio man scored his second goal on the night to give the lead to FYR Macedonia just five minutes before the break with a powerful shot.
