David Ngog struck a goal in each half to give Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson a winning start as his side won 2-0 at Rabotnicki Skopje in a Europa League third qualifying round, first-leg match on Thursday.
The French striker opened the scoring after capitalising on a defensive blunder in the 18th minute and added the second just before the hour mark, steering in a crisp shot from 10 metres.
The Macedonians failed to trouble a second-string Liverpool team missing many of their World Cup players, including captain Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, and many of the disappointed home fans left the stadium well before the final whistle.
New signing Milan Jovanovic was among Liverpool's starters and the Serbia winger had a decent game on the left flank, causing problems with his speed and close control.
The return leg is at Anfield next Thursday.
