(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Star Belgrade played very well and shone against Celta Vigo, but failed to secure the precious victory. The Red-and-Whites drew 1-1 at home against the Spanish side, meaning they will not advance directly to the Europa League Round of 16 and will instead have to compete in a \u201cplayoff\u201d to reach the knockout stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dejan Stankovi\u0107\u2019s influence on the team was immediately evident. The renowned Deki arrived and clearly imposed order within the Red-and-Whites squad, which was visible from the very start. Signs of his impact were also seen against Malm\u00f6, but now the confirmation came. A seemingly new Red Star emerged even in a clash against a team from one of Europe\u2019s top five leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the outset, Red Star understood their responsibilities, knew what was required, and how important it was to score quickly. They attacked immediately, applied pressure, and chances kept coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It could be said that Stankovi\u0107 had \u201cstarted the machine,\u201d but then VAR intervened. The technology affected the match in the first 20 minutes, overturning two goals by Marko Arnautovi\u0107 \u2013 the first for a foul by Aleksandar Katai, the second for offside. This hinted at a potentially better second half, but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fudbal - LE: Crvena zvezda - Selta 1:1; 89&#039; GOOOL!

First, Celta scored a true \u201cEuro goal\u201d from Fer L\u00f3pez, who stunned Marakana with a brilliant strike, but immediately afterward, Bruno Duarte equalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of this happened practically within 60 seconds at the very end, creating a rollercoaster of emotions \u2013 first disappointment, then elation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red Star had clearly understood their assignment from the start. By the fifth minute, they threatened for the first time. A cross from Elshnik found Rodrigao, who attempted a shot, but the Celta goalkeeper easily saved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first goal then came in the eighth minute. Aleksandar Katai stole the ball, passed to Marko Arnautovi\u0107, who scored. However, VAR intervened and disallowed the goal due to a foul by Katai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only nine minutes later, Red Star found the net again. Arnautovi\u0107 received the ball from Katai, controlled it brilliantly, and chipped the goalkeeper. Again, VAR intervened \u2013 this time for offside \u2013 and the goal was disallowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both sides continued creating chances. Katai broke past a defender and attempted a shot, but Marcos Alonso blocked it. In the 27th minute, luck slightly favored Red Star: Borja hit the post, Moriba followed up, but Mateus saved. That was practically the end of the first half, with no more clear chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early in the second half, in the 49th minute, Celta had an opportunity. Borja Iglesias received the ball, but his pass was too strong, and it went out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The breakthrough finally came in the 87th minute. Fer L\u00f3pez positioned himself perfectly and struck a magnificent outside-foot shot past Mateus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, their joy lasted only 60 seconds. Red Star launched a rapid counter from the center, Bruno Duarte received the ball from Elshnik, faced the Celta goalkeeper one-on-one, and lobbed him, leaving him stranded. A Celta defender attempted to intervene but failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just a minute later, Bruno Duarte scored again \u2013 the final 1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-cause-of-the-terrible-accident-revealed-paok-fans-died-due-to-an-error-in-the-vehicles-electronic-system-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE CAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE ACCIDENT REVEALED: PAOK fans died due to an error in the vehicle\u2019s electronic system!
