FK Vardar win Macedonian Super Cup

Vardar win Super Cup
FK Vardar have won this years Macedonian Super Cup beating FK Teteks from Tetovo 1-0 last night.

The Super Cup is played between the winners of the Macedonian First League (Vardar) and the winners of the Macedonian Cup (Teteks).

The Super Cup was played in front of an empty stadium last night as a crowd of less than 100 spectators watched the game. More police and security were recorded than patrons.

The shockingly small crowd has been blamed on a boycott of Vardar's support group the "Komiti" who refused to attend the match after their group was locked out of Vardar's Champions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest last week leading to violent clashes against police and security officials.

The low crowd has also been blamed on high ticket prices and the low quality of Macedonian football.

The Komiti have accused the Vardar committee of discrimination against their group as well as by police who they see as provoking incidents and abusing their powers.
