Crvena zvezda did not manage to get the first points in the Europa League even in the second round of the group stage.
After losing at home to Monaco, Zvezda was defeated away from Trabzon.
Zvezda entered the match in Turkey cautiously and defensively, but failed to defend against the initial pressure of the home team.
Trabzon attacked from the start, which paid off in the 16th minute.
Zvezda didn’t defend the corner well – it didn’t bring the ball out or throw it out, so Trezeguet made a perfect cross and found Hamšík himself, who headed the ball into the net without any problems.
As time went on, the home team slowed down the pace and deadened the game, while the defensive Zvezda had no idea how to threaten the home team.
Aleksandar Katai entered the game at the start of the second half of the game and Zvezda immediately played more offensively, but the chances of the red and whites were significantly reduced in the 63rd minute, when Kangwa received a second yellow card.
Trabzon, five minutes later, took advantage of Gelor Kanga’s mistake – Bakasetas took the ball, set up Trezeguet, who shot tremendously and doubled the advantage.
Zvezda managed to shake the net, but the goal arrived too late – in the 89th minute.
Veljko Nikolić shot the corner well and scored a consolation goal.
In the second match of Group H, Ferencvaros beat Monaco 1:0 away.
Ferencvaros is first in the group with six points, Trabzon is second with three, the same number as third-placed Monaco, while Zvezda has no points.
