Ub, November 1
Partizan beat second-tier Jedinstvo Ub 1-0 away in a one-legged Serbian Cup last 32 stage match.
Boss Igor Duljaj made 9 changes from the weekend`s league outing with only Belic and Severina remaining part of the starting line-up. Centre-back De Medina made his official debut.
Partizan didn`t create much in the first half. First shot on target was Severina`s low drive inside the box on 22, comfortably saved by the keeper.
Just after the half-hour mark, Severina played a neat cross for Bazdar followed by an angled diving close range header wide of the far post.
Menig sent a weak edge of the box shot for an easy keeper`s save on 38 while Sehovic blasted the ball over the bar with his close range angled left-footed drive minute later.
Home side did show attacking ambitions but send no shot on target over the first 45.
Severina (pulling) was booked few mins before half-time whistle. It was another goalless opening 45 minutes of Partizan game.
Igor Duljaj introduced Saldanha and Zahid for Bazdar and Severina at half-time. Jedinstvo was first to threat with and angled drive from Milanovic just wide off the far post.
Partizan took the 1-0 lead on 54 after a neat passing move from Saldanha and Zahid for Nikolic to smash the ball into the near corner of the net with his left-footed drive inside the box.
Partizan keeper made his first save just before the hour mark while Belic hit the crossbar 3 mins later.
Best opportunity for Jedinstvo fell to Zubairu as he volleyed the bar just wide on 72.
Clear-cut opportunity for Zahid on 76 but home keeper made a save as he did on 81 when he prevented Belic from scoring.
Home side pushed for equalizer late in the game, Karikari had a great close opportunity in injury time but there was an offside offence in the process.
