Belgrade, October 6 (agencies) - Yugoslavia stunned Luxembourg with six goals in 14
second-half minutes but still missed out on a place in
the World Cup finals on as Slovenia's 3-0 defeat of
Faroe Islands consigned Yugoslavia to third place in
Group 1.
The home side got the goal their pressure
deserved on 19 minutes when Dejan Stankovic's
cross from the right was met firmly by the head of
Slavisa Jokanovic.
Rene Peters stunned the home crowd with an equaliser
when he looked better placed to cross than shoot.

And seven minutes after the unthinkable occurred
when Christophe lobbed home the visiting side's
second off a pass from Deville. Three minutes later
Christophe could have added a second as a stunned
Yugoslavia fell apart at the back.
But Yugoslavia soon regained the ascendancy.
Predrag Mijatovic drew the home side level on 58
minutes and three minutes later Kezman pounced on
a rebound to restore Yugoslavia's advantage as the
visiting side buckled.
On 63 minutes Drulovic crossed to Savo Milosevic
who headed home the fourth and added another just
five minutes later. Kezman rounded out the scoring
with 18 minutes to go.
