Red Star Belgrade have taken a big step towards retaining the Yugoslav league title with a 2-1 victory away to local rivals Zeleznik while second-placed
Partizan were held to a 4-4 draw at Hajduk Kula.
Red Star are two points ahead of Partizan with one round to
go and need only a draw in their final match against relegated
Milicionar Belgrade at home on Wednesday to clinch the title.
The match at Hajduk Kula on Saturday, in wich Partizan
needed a win to keep pace with Red Star, was held up for 35
minutes in the first half when Partizan fans invaded the pitch.
They ripped the goalnets off the woodwork at both ends of
the pitch and headed for a direct confrontation with the home
fans but fled back to their section on the terraces as riot
police moved in with batons to quell the violence.
Police then moved into the away fans' section and forced
Partizan's rioting supporters out of the stadium before the
match resumed.
Partizan were held by a valiant home side who fought back
from a two-goal deficit in the closing stages to earn a draw
that kept them above the relegation zone.
Partizan were seemingly home and dry when striker Andrija
Delibasic gave them a 4-2 lead in the 72nd minute, but Hajduk's
top scorer Dejan Osmanovic grabbed two goals in a frantic
three-minute spell to deny the visitors.
Red Star were given an early scare, falling behind in the
13th minute when Dalibor Pesterac's close range header went in
off the underside of the bar.
Slovenian international Milenko Acimovic equalised with a
crisp shot from the edge of the box only two minutes later and
Stevo Glogovac grabbed a 43rd minute winner for Red Star when
his effort was deflected into the back of the net (Reuters).
