lightning-quick break iliev put partizan ahead on the night in the 50th minute, rounding off a lightning-quick break out of defence following a newcastle corner by slotting a pass from impressive captain sasa ilic into the net.
shearer miss in the first five penalties of the shoot-out, three players from each side, including newcastle's former england captain alan shearer, failed to convert. when newcastle's aaron hughes blasted his effort over, partizan right-back milivoje cirkovic then put away the decisive kick to see his side through to thursday's draw and leave newcastle with the consolation prize of a place in the uefa cup.
