    Cléo completes the job for Partizan
    Published: Wednesday 21 July 2010,
    FC Pyunik 0-1 FK Partizan (agg: 1-4)
    Cléo's goal on the stroke of half-time rubber-stamped a third
    qualifying round tie against HJK Helsinki for the Serbian champions.

    Brazilian striker Cléo scored on the stroke of half-time to give FK
    Partizan victory against FC Pyunik and rubber-stamp a 4-1 aggregate
    triumph over the Armenian titleholders.
    The Serbian champions had laid the platform for a third qualifying
    round contest against HJK Helsinki with a 3-1 win in Belgrade last week.
    Cléo completed the scoring in that opening instalment and banished any
    lingering doubts of the overall outcome with a well-taken finish four
    minutes into first-half added time in Yerevan.
    Nemanja TomiÄ=87 had got the ball rolling in the first leg and it was
    he who was first to go close in the return, Artur Lesko coming to
    Pyunik's rescue after just three minutes. Pyunik had chances of their
    own to inject a glimmer of life back into the tie, however, Marcos
    Pizzelli spurning the most presentable when failing to finish from
    inside the penalty area after 18 minutes.
    Cléo was far more clinical when he collected Radosav PetroviÄ=87's
    precise pass and fired past Lesko via the crossbar. The hosts again
    went close to registering seven minutes after the interval, but Gevorg
    Ghazaryan was denied by Partizan defender Ivan StevanoviÄ=87. Cléo
    nearly added his third of the tie late on but Partizan's work was
    already done.
