Belgrade, October 7
Partizan won Mladost Lucani 2-0 at home for an eight consecutive league win and second clean sheet in a row.
Boss Igor Duljaj made one starting line-up change with Ghayas Zahid making his first start.
Partizan dominated early exchanges with Saldanha hitting the post on 5 while Natcho`s shot inside the box got blocked earlier on.
Before half-an-hour mark, Partizan had numerous promising shots and attacks but Antic (twice), Kanoute and Saldanha failed to hit the target.
Visitors threatened on 45, Varjacic sent the ball just wide from his free-kick effort.
After the break, Mladost keeper saved shots from Natcho and Zahid early on and finally, on 56, Zahid was brought down in the box for Natcho to send a trademark emphatic penalty-kick strike into the net for a Partizan 1-0 lead.
Three mins later Saldanha headed the ball over the bar and Belic hit the post with his measured 18m effort.
Partizn doubled the lead on 68 after a pinpoint through pass from Saldanha for Zahid to beat the keeper and send the ball into the empty net.
Jovanovic had to make one good save from an angled attempt while young Partizan sub Trifunovic sent the ball wide from his close range angled shot on 90.
