Vardar Skopje edged KuPS 3-2 in a dramatic UEFA Champions League first-round qualifier, coming from behind twice in extra time to secure the win. The visitors took control in regular time with goals from Saku Savolainen and Goran Zakarić, but KuPS rallied after the break.

Savolainen opened the scoring in the 59th minute, and Zakarić doubled the lead in the 90th, seemingly sealing the contest. However, KuPS pulled one back through Bob Nii Armah in the 100th minute, only for Ian Puleio to restore Vardar's two-goal cushion two minutes later. Piotr Parzyszek made it 2-3 in the 105th minute, but KuPS could not find an equaliser.

The match saw nine bookings, including four in stoppage time and extra time, reflecting a tense, physical contest. Neither side dominated possession or shots according to the available data, but Vardar's clinical finishing, particularly in extra time, proved decisive.
