LONDON (AP) -- Paris St. Germain won the Cup Winners Cup two
years ago. Thursday night the one-time French power was knocked out
in the first-round, second-leg by Israel's modest Maccabi Haifi on
a goal in second-half stoppage time.
In the 16-game Cup Winner schedule on Thursday, holders Chelsea
squeezed through with a 1-0 win at Sweden's Helsingborgs. But
another English club, Newcastle, was eliminated by Partizan
Belgrade as Vuc Rasovic's penalty gave the Yugoslavs a 1-0 win,
advancing 2-2 on the away goal rule.
Lazio, finalists last season in the UEFA Cup, also just got by
with a 2-2 draw in Lausanne, moving through 3-3 on away goals.
In Haifa, Israel, Maccabi won 3-2 and advanced 4-3 when Alon
Mizrahi's shot in second-half injury time deflected in off Paris
St. Germain player Alain Goma for the deciding goal.
After a scoreless first half, Maccabi took a 1-0 lead in the
69th on fullback Adoram Keisi's shot from five yards.
Nicola Ouedec equalized in the 72nd, but five minutes later Mizrahi
scored to give Maccabi a 2-1 lead. J.J. Okocha evened again for the
French in the 85th to make it 2-2 and set stage for the dramatic
finish.
In Helsingborg, Sweden, the Swedes attacked from the start and
dominated. It took Chelsea 25 minutes to get its first shot on
goal. Helsingborg, which eliminated Aston Villa in the UEFA Cup two
years ago, had the best chance of the match when Zoran Jovanovski's
header in the 30th hit goalie Ed De Goey's post.
Midfielder Magnus Powell came close twice, first with a header
that narrowly missed the target and then with a powerful shot that
went just wide.
In Lausanne, Chilean striker Marcelo Salas put the Italian side
ahead in the 7th, but Lausanne was level three minutes later when
midfielder Philippe Douglas scored.
Lazio regained the lead in the 26th with another counterattack
as midfielder Sergio Conceicao connected. Lausanne midfielder
Stefan Rehn made it 2-2 with an 84th-minute equalizer to put the
Italians on edge to the finish.
In Belgrade, Vuc Rasovic scored on the penalty in the 53rd after
Newcastle midfielder David Batty was called for pulling down
Vladimir Ivic in the area. The Yugoslavs were the more aggressive side and at one point
held a 10-0 advantage in corners. The loss was the first after four
straight wins for Ruud Gullit's side.
