Brazilian striker Cléo scored on the stroke of half-time to give FK
Partizan victory against FC Pyunik and rubber-stamp a 4-1 aggregate
triumph over the Armenian titleholders.
The Serbian champions had laid the platform for a third qualifying
round contest against HJK Helsinki with a 3-1 win in Belgrade last week.
Cléo completed the scoring in that opening instalment and banished any
lingering doubts of the overall outcome with a well-taken finish four
minutes into first-half added time in Yerevan.
Nemanja TomiÄ=87 had got the ball rolling in the first leg and it was
he who was first to go close in the return, Artur Lesko coming to
Pyunik's rescue after just three minutes. Pyunik had chances of their
own to inject a glimmer of life back into the tie, however, Marcos
Pizzelli spurning the most presentable when failing to finish from
inside the penalty area after 18 minutes.
Cléo was far more clinical when he collected Radosav PetroviÄ=87's
precise pass and fired past Lesko via the crossbar. The hosts again
went close to registering seven minutes after the interval, but Gevorg
Ghazaryan was denied by Partizan defender Ivan StevanoviÄ=87. Cléo
nearly added his third of the tie late on but Partizan's work was
already done.
