Partizan lost 2-1 to Dinamo Moscow in a third friendly of Belek winter preps.

Boss Stanojevic shuffled his deck a bit, giving a start to youngsters Jovic, Bazdar and Milovanovic upfront.

Currently second-placed team in Russian Premier League took an early lead as Fomin executed his free-kick neatly pass the poor-positioned defensive wall.

Vujacic was first to threaten Dinamo but he headed the ball just wide after a corner-kick taken by Jojic.

Midway through the first half, Russian international Smolov beat his marker but keeper Popovic saved his shot with help of persistent Vujacic.

After the half-an-hour mark, Jovic created himself a shooting opportunity but sent the ball wide while Markovic saw his shot tipped over the bar by the keeper. Moments later, Vujacic had the best opportunity of the first half but missed from close range reacting to a corner-kick ball.

After the break, Stanojevic introduced Terzic, Natcho, Menig and Ricardo for the second half.

Partizan was close to equalize just after the hour mark, but Dinamo keeper made a fingertip save from Terzic`s low shot.

Partizan finally equalized on 65 when alerted Natcho headed the ball into the net from close range after couple of rebounds in the box.

But, late in the game, Dinamo scored a winner after a corner-kick ball laid out for unmarked Galkin who neatly placed the ball into the net with his first-touch heart of the box shot.

Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic after the friendly:

-I think we played well and dominated all the way through. But, it`s unbelievable how we conceded two goals from set-pieces, you don`t concede such goals in U-13`s. Of course, we`ll do our best to fix that. We had our opportunities, couple of clear-cut ones and I`m pleased with our performance overall but professional football team cannot allow to concede such goals.
