Outstanding performance
Celta de Vigo•MidfielderCrvena Zvezda salvaged a dramatic late draw against Celta Vigo in a Europa League encounter that looked destined to end in disappointment for the Serbian hosts. After a relatively quiet opening period punctuated by early incidents involving Marko Arnautovic, the match burst into life in the final stages. Fer López's 87th-minute opener for Celta appeared to have secured all three points for the Spanish visitors, but Bruno Duarte emerged as the hero with a crucial equalizer just two minutes later. The result keeps both sides in the hunt for European progression, with Crvena Zvezda showing the character to fight back when it mattered most.
