Yugoslavia round-up: Vukic seals Partizan comeback

Zvonimir Vukic scored a last-minute winner as Yugoslavian league leaders FK Partizan bounced back from their recent mauling by arch-rivals FK Crvena Zvezda to beat FK Rad 3-2.

Late goals
Partizan were 2-1 down with just eight minutes left before Ivica Ilijev equalised and Vukic stole all three points. Rad had earlier taken the lead on 19 minutes through Marko Perovic. The advantage lasted just seven minutes, as Miladin Becanovic levelled with a header from a deep corner. Five minutes after half-time Jane Gavalovski restored the home side's lead with a crisp finish from 18 metres. However, Ilijev restored parity before Vukic's last-gasp decider.

Still in the hunt
Crvena Zvezda stayed in the title hunt five points adrift of Partizan by beating FK Mladost Lucani 1-0 to extend their unbeaten run to four games. Sanibal Orahovac scored 15 minutes from the end for the 1991 European champions, who have now gone over six hours without conceding a league goal.

Derby postponed
The Belgrade derby between third-placed FK Obilic and OFK Beograd was postponed due to illness in the Obilic camp. Meanwhile, FK Sartid's Sasa Antunovic scored the only goal of the game as his side defeated FK Radnicki Kragujevac 1-0.

Stojakovic goal decisive
Another Belgrade side, FK Cukaricki, beat FK Hajduk Kula 1-0 thanks to Igor Stojakovic's 28th-minute goal. Bottom club FK Mladost Apatin scored a shock 4-1 win over FK Zvezdara, with Zoran Ciric scoring two late goals, while FK Vojvodina dented FK Sutjeska's survival hopes with a 2-0 success, Zarko Belada and Igor Bogdanovic scoring in the first half.

Crucial point
FK Zemun earned a potentially crucial point in their fight to escape the drop by drawing 1-1 draw with FK Zeleznik, while in the day's other game, a Milan Radulovic own goal two minutes into the second half gave FK Rudar Plevlja a 1-0 win at FK Zeta.
