In Belgrade, Partizan carved out a two-goal lead early on, only for a penalty on the stroke of half time and a goal straight after the interval to give Fenerbahce an advantage.
Fenerbahce seemed to be out for the count after the hosts took an early, two-goal lead, but a spirited comeback denied Partizan the advantage ahead of the second leg. Within eleven minutes the black-and-white side were 1-0 up.
A fine cross from Stevanovic found the well-traveled Velkjo Paunovic in the box, and the striker headed past Volkan Demirel without concern.
Three minutes later it was 2-0.This time Diarra was the architect as he punished some lax defending to put Bogunovic through to double the advantage.
Both sides had their chances after that, Gokhan coming close for the Yellow Canaries while Partizan almost made it three through the impressive Diarra, but eventually Fenerbahce established a rhythm.
Roberto Carlos, given plenty of space on the left, nearly set up Guiza for a comeback goal 34 minutes in, but in fact Luis Aragones didn't have long to wait to see his side's deficit halved.
Deep into injury time Alex was adjudged to have been brought down in the box, and the man himself stepped up to score from the spot.
Just five minutes after the break Lugano's killer ball found Güiza in the box and the Spaniard made it 2-2: suddenly it was game on again.
However chances were few and far between in the second period and as such the game ended in an entertaining draw.
Partizan: Bozovic, Stevanovic, Knezevic, Djordjevic, Sikimic, Obradovic, Petrovic (Maletic 72), Lazic (Cadikovski 88), Bogunovic (Marinkovic 78), Paunovic, Diarra Lamina.
Fenerbahce: Volkan Demirel, Ugur Boral (Maldonado 84), Gokhan Gonul, Lugano, Roberto Carlos, Alex, Edu, Selcuk Sahin, Semih Senturk (Emre Belozoglu 61), Guiza, Kazim Kazim (Burak 55).

BAD START FOR GALATASARAY!.......
NONDA SAVES GALATASARAY IN ISTANBUL

Galatasaray cameback from two goals down to salvage a home draw with FC Steaua Bucharest in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie.
Galatasaray drew 2-2 with Steaua Bucharest of Romania in the first leg match of the European Champions League third qualifying round played in Istanbul on Wednesday.
Steaua looked on course to take a lead back to Romania in a fortnight when Dairo Moreno and Banel Nicolita struck in a first 12 minutes.
Galatasaray's Shabani Nonda quickly pulled one back, however, and his second goal just after half-time ensured there will be all to play for in Bucharest.
The home side were deprived the services of Harry Kewell, Tobias Linderoth and Umit Karan through injury and were behind in the fourth minute.
Aykut's goal kick fell to Moreno and the Colombian entered the box and calmly beat the keeper.
Eight minutes later a Steaua throw-in was picked up by Nicolita five metres from goal and his powerful shot doubled the lead.
Despite those setbacks the 20,000 home fans continued to support their team and were given hope on 18 minutes when Nonda struck from close range.
An equaliser nearly arrived not long before the break when Arda Turan found Nonda but Robinson Zapata made a fine reflex save.
Two minutes into the second half an Arda cross from the left was headed in by the Congolese striker.
Now the pressure was on Steaua to hold out and they did so with some comfort despite the introduction of Barıs Ozbek and Sabri Sarıoglu.
Galatasaray, meanwhile, will hope the return of injured players in a fortnight inspires them to the group stage.

Kezman loaned to PSG say reports, Fenerbahce deny
French first division club Paris St Germain have agreed terms with Fenerbahce over a loan deal for Serbian star Mateja Kezman, a source close to the French club said on Thursday, though the Turkish club has denied it.
The Paris club will reportedly have the option to buy the 29-year-old at the end of the season for around four million euros, according to sports daily l'Equipe's website.
Kezman spent four years at Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, joining Premier League side Chelsea in 2004.
He failed to make an impression at the London club and moved to Atletico Madrid the following season. He joined the Turkish club in 2006.
However a club statement from Fenerbahce later said: “Our club, concerning negotiations with Paris Saint Germain, has presented an offer which has still not had a reply. Information confirming that an agreement has been found (…) is wrong.”
