Newcastle's manager Sir Bobby Robson had warned that this trip to Sarajevo for a Champions League qualifier would not be like a visit to Hawaii and he was right, though it took a wonderful goal from Kieron Dyer and an equally spectacular save from Shay Given to give his team an important advantage for the second leg in two weeks' time.

The goalkeeper was called upon a minute into the second half, and his save from Jure Guvo was the equal of anything he had produced in the World Cup back in June.

The ranks of war graves within 200 yards of the stadium were a grim reminder of football's relative unimportance in a city that witnessed the first and last major conflicts of the 20th century. But they did not dilute the seriousness of the game for Newcastle, who knew that victory would pave the way to a potential £15m payday.

Robson had anticipated a test of his team's resolve in front of a partisan crowd but he was forced to field seven players aged 22 or under after being denied the services of Craig Bellamy and Laurent Robert, as well as Gary Speed, through injury.

Olivier Bernard, Jermaine Jenas and Lomana Lua Lua were required to grow up quickly, although they could not expect to discover the battle-hardened qualities of the hosts' 34-year-old defender Haris Alihodzic, a man who had dodged sniper bullets.

The 200 Newcastle fans were drowned out by 35,000 Bosnians in a tie which had almost become a symbol of national pride. Zeljeznicar had not conceded a goal in almost eight hours of Champions League football, but they should have been one down after five minutes when Lua Lua headed wide from a great position.

Two minutes earlier Almir Gredic was clean through and shot past Given, and even though his effort was disallowed for offside it was a clear warning that Newcastle could not afford to take liberties.

Newcastle soon gained a measure of control through the £8.5m midfielder Hugo Viana, who screwed a shot wide before firing in a 30-yard free-kick which Kenan Hasagic saved with some measure of comfort.

It all helped to draw the sting from the home crowd, who were relatively subdued even when a black cat came on to the pitch and ran past Given into the Newcastle goal. It proved to be an unlucky omen for Jenas, who missed with a glancing header from a 29th-minute corner.

And the hosts survived again when Viana's pinpoint cross was beaten out by Hasagic after 36 minutes, when Dyer looked certain to score.

Newcastle had developed a clear edge in a game that was more about graft than craft, but Nicos Dabizas was fortunate to escape with a booking for bringing down Guvo after a mistake from Bernard moments before half-time.

Newcastle had showed a maturity beyond their years but they almost went a goal down within 30 seconds of the restart. Given rescued them, and it could turn out to have been the most important stop of his career. Guvo burst through and fired in a shot that looked certain to defeat the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper, but Given at full stretch tipped the ball away.

Then Dyer put Newcastle in front with a fine goal, the midfielder bursting through midfield and swapping passes with Lua Lua and Alan Shearer before chipping over the advancing Hasagic.

It was no less than they deserved but Newcastle were living on their nerves after Gredic fired wide of Given's right-hand post a minute later.

Zeljeznicar (4-4-2): Hasagic; Jahic, Mulaosmanovic, Alihodzic, Mulalic; Karic, Seferovic, Guvo, Mesic; Cosic, Gredic.

Newcastle (4-4-2): Given; Hughes, Dabizas, Bramble, Bernard; Solano, Dyer, Jenas, Viana; Lua Lua, Shearer.

    Napomena: Samo spojite slova i znakove i dobit cete link. Snimci su razliciti i po mom misljenju su slicne kvalitete ali nazaliost ne i dovoljno kvalitetni.

  • Nije beze vido napravljen u obliku otvorene knjige, neka im bude zadaca!!! Samo je steta sto je los snimak pa bolje od ovoga nije moglo ali se nadam da ce se neko smilovati i napraviti nam kopiju orginalnog snimka da ga ripujemo u HD-u koju vjerujem da imaju u arhivi televizije jer ovi momci na terenu i na stadionu su to zasluzili.
