Dundee - SARTID 0-0

Scotland, June 16 (uefa.com) - UEFA club competition debutants FK Sartid gave themselves a superb opportunity of advancing into the next round of the UEFA Intertoto Cup after frustrating Dundee at Dens Park to record a scoreless draw.

The Yugoslav side, who qualified for the competition after securing fourth place in their domestic first division in just their third year in the top flight, will be delighted with the result especially as their goalkeeper, Nenad Lukic, had little to do during the 90 minutes.

Sartid proved the quicker to settle and had their best chance of the game when Goran Bogdanovic was clear on goal in the 13th minute from Nenad Mircasavijevic's pass, but the experienced midfielder scuffed his shot without testing goalkeeper Jamie Langfield.

Dundee, who were playing their first European fixture since a 1974/75 UEFA Cup First Round tie against RWD Molenbeek, failed to dominate their opponents and though they did show more imagination in the final third of the field, their coach Ivano Bonetti will be disappointed that they did not register one effort on target during the opening 45 minutes although Javier Artero came close on the quarter hour but his lob was over the goal.

During a more lively second 45 minutes, the hosts came closest when Alessandro Romano curled a first-half free-kick just over the crossbar and Chris Coyne headed Romano's corner wide from an unmarked position at the back post after 62 minutes. Dundee were then almost rewarded for their attacking efforts when substitute Fabian Caballero had a shot on goal after good work from fellow substitute Steven Milne, but the Argentine fired the ball wide.
