Ilco Naumovski scored an injury-time penalty for Macedonia to snatch a 2-2 draw against Armenia on Tuesday in a qualifier for the 2012 European Championship.

Naumovski scored moments after Armenia's Edgar Manucharyan had put the host up 2-1 with a stoppage-time goal.

Yura Movsisyan opened the scoring for Armenia after tearing through Macedonia's defense in the 40th minute.

But Mario Gjurovski leveled for the Macedonians a minute later, after the host missed a couple of early chances in the Group B match.
