I'm Red Star fan but still this is a great success for Serbian football, and if someone wants to talk about this, its better to create a new thread. < All results in qualifying rounds > Second qualifying round: First match: Partizan - Pyunik 3-1 (Tomić 29', Moreira 45+1', Cleo 59' - Yedigaryan 30') Second match: Pyunik - Partizan 0-1 (/ - Cleo 45+4') Third qualifying round: First match: Partizan - HJK Helsinki 3-0 (Iliev 8', S.

Partizan played a good defensive game against Shakhtar overall only to lose from a set piece. They had a couple of good chances in the last 10 minutes but Andrey Pyatov was up to the task of stopping them. Overall a 1-0 loss to Donetsk away isn't a bad debut for this season. With a little bit of more luck they could have ended with a 0-0 draw. Hopefully they will be able to keep the score down against Arsenal, as their passing and movement is so quick it made Braga look like a 2nd division team, not a team that beat FC Sevilla.
