Belgrade, October 3 (uefa.com) - FK Partizan scored twice in the dying minutes of injury time to secure a dramatic 3-3 draw at home against Sporting Clube de Portugal and a 6-4 aggregate victory in their UEFA Cup second-round tie.

The Yugoslavian side, playing in front of closed doors due to crowd trouble at their UEFA Champions League third qualifying round first-leg match against FC Bayern München, spent much of the match on the back foot before their late flurry.

Indeed, Sporting, trailing 3-1 from the first leg in Lisbon, were the better side for much of the match with Quaresma, Tonito, Beto and Christiano Ronaldo all in impressive form. Tonito opened the scoring after 18 minutes, when he trapped Rui Bento's centre on his chest, advanced and beat goalkeeper Radiša Ilic from close range.

Sporting's dominance continued after the restart, with Vitali Kutuzov doubling their advantage and levelling the aggregate score with a rasping drive that went in off the underside of the crossbar.

Partizan needed inspiration and coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic attempted to provide it by introducing the not fully fit veteran Damir Cakar on the hour mark. The gamble paid off as he had an immediate settling effect on the Yugoslavian side. And he turned provider as Partizan made it 2-1 after 78 minutes, when his excellent cross found the unmarked Andrija Delibasic, who headed in with ease.

But Sporting hit back again eight minutes from the end of regulation time to send the game into extra time. Tonito was the catalyst with a brilliant run down the right, and his cross was finished off by Pablo Contreras. Sporting continued to dominate in the first period of extra-time but were unable to add to their tally.

Partizan reasserted themselves in the final 15 minutes, and 18-year old Dejan Zivkovic put them ahead on aggregate after 110 minutes when he scored from Cakar's corner. That broke Sporting's resistance and Cakar sealed the 6-4 aggregate success by applying the finish touch to a counterattack in the dying seconds.

Honest Tumbakovic Partizan coach Tumbakovic was candid in his post-match reaction. He said: "I hope everyone understands how bad Partizan played tonight. It was only all right in the final 15 minutes and luck was with us. There are two reasons for such a performance. Firstly, I had seven key players injured and secondly, the fantastic Sporting team who totally outplayed us."

Sartid - Ipswich 0-1

Smederevo, YUGOSLAVIA, October 3 (AP) - Marcus Bent scored from a ninth-minute penalty as Ipswich Town defeated Yugoslav team Sartid 1-0 Thursday to advance to the second round of the UEFA Cup.

Ipswich, which has gone six English First Division games without victory and languishes near the bottom of the table, qualified on a 2-1 aggregate after tying

Sartid 1-1 at Portman Road in their first-round first-leg game two weeks ago.

Sartid gave Ipswich a scare in the fourth minute when captain Goran Bogdanovic set up Boris Vaskovic, whose shot went past goalkeeper Andy Marshall and bounced off the post.

Five minutes later, Finidi George sent a deep cross from the right and the referee ruled Slavoljub Kizic shoved Bent in the area.

Bent took the penalty himself and stroked it powerfully past goalkeeper Dragan Zilic.

Sartid had more chances in the first half, notably on the half-hour when Nebojsa Savic's header was cleared off the line and onto the bar by Jamie Clapham.

The Yugoslavs dominated the second half, but Ipswich, which was relegated from the Premier League last season and only won a place in the competition through UEFA's Fair Play awards, stood firm.

A full house of 16,500 turned out for the biggest match in the history of the Yugoslav club, a steelworks' company team in Smederevo, 50 kilometers (35 miles outside Belgrade).

After the game, Bent told BBC radio he had be racially taunted.

"It was a hostile crowd," Bent told BBC radio. "There was a lot of racist abuse, a lot of spitting when you went near the crowd."
