Partizan out of UEFA Cup

Partizan announced on their website the disciplinary committee of European football's governing body decided at a meeting on Thursday in Nyon to expel the club from European competitions for one year and fine them 50,000 Swiss francs.

Play was held up for 10 minutes early in the first half in Mostar after rival fans clashed with riot police and stewards while pelting each other with flares and rocks.

Italian referee Andrea De Marco allowed the match to resume after police quelled the violence and Partizan went on to win the leg 6-1 with the second leg scheduled for Aug. 2.
