Outstanding performance

Crvena Zvezda delivered a disciplined away performance to claim a crucial 1-0 victory at Lille in this Europa League encounter. Franklin Tebo proved the difference with a close-range finish from a corner kick right on the stroke of half-time, capitalizing on Tomás Händel's delivery after the initial shot was blocked. The Serbian side absorbed pressure throughout and managed the game expertly in the second half, with tactical substitutions helping them see out the result.

This vital away win gives Crvena Zvezda significant momentum in their European campaign.
