Kezman scores his 27th goal of the season

Parma, ITALY, February 22 (agencies) - Mateja Kezman and Savo Milosevic were scorers for their teams in the UEFA Cup fourth round second leg match between Italian Parma and Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven.

PSV lost 3-2 at Parma on Thursday but still qualified for the quarter-finals on the away goals rule (first leg match: 2-1 for PSV).

Rommerdahl slipped through the Parma offside trap in the 32nd minute, rounded goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and flicked the ball into the empty net.

On the stroke of halftime Buffon failed to hold a fierce freekick from Johannes De Jong and, as the Parma defence froze, Yugoslav striker Mateja Kezman tapped the ball home from inside the six-yard box for his 27th goal of the season and his 18th in PSV's last 13 matches.

Yugoslav striker Savo Milosevic had his shirt tugged in the box by PSV's Kevin Hofland in the 63rd minute and converted the resulting penalty to make the score 2-1 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate.

Five minutes later, Milosevic struck again with a fine header from a Sergio Conceicao cross from the left. As the match headed into injury time, Colombian teenager Johnnier Montano, a second-half replacement for defender Paolo Cannavaro, swept home a superb volley from the edge of the box to put the Italians in front for the first time.
