Live match coverage: Rennes-Red Star
Unexpected easy win for Red Star in Rennes, as they filled Pouplin’s net and are already in second knockout round of Uefa Cup. It all started with cynical foul by Wiltord in 5th minute, and referee awarded him with direct red card. Goals from Castillo and Fenin in first half ensured easy game for Serbian champions, and all lines were just great.

Live match coverage (ETERNAL DERBY): Partizan-Crvena Zvezda
It was one of the classics. Both teams ready to strike and get full package of points which will lead them to nice advantage against city rivals. Zvezda fielded Agassa and Albin for first time, while Jovetic wasn’t in Partizan’s starting line-up. First 10 minutes were nice to watch, but defenses did good job on preventing chances from opponent. 21st minute started when Molina sent perfect long ball, Fenin headed it to Burzanovic whose shot from edge of penalty area went into net with small help from left post. Perfect start for Zvezda. Agassa kept his team in lead with some fabulous saves, and Miroslav Djukic decided to put Jovetic in game instead of right back, Nemanja Rnic. Bullseye! Stevan Jovetic managed to get corner in injury time of first half, Rukavina passed it to Jovetic on penalty spot who assisted Knezevic. Equalizer in second minute of injury time. Second half was same, with many chances coming, but both Agassa and Radosavljevic have done miracles on goal lines. In 75th minute dubious decision made by referee, Jovetic was offside when he got his ball after Rukavina’s pass, he tried to break trough, Kippe was way too strong for him and he felt. Penalty shot for Partizan! Rukavina placed ball on spot, but his shot went wide. After that, both teams concentrated on defense and 1-1 was fair result for city rivals.

Red Star-Rennes 1-2 (0-2) (Uefa Cup First Knockout Round Leg 2)

SportKlub – February, 21st
Live match coverage: Crvena Zvezda-Rennes
If only Rennes had more luck, they could kick out Zvezda out of Europe. Crvena Zvezda fielded reserves for this match, and Rennes’ Didot in 6th minute and Ekoko in 26th scored for early 2-0 lead. Agassa had great game, saving almost everything and keeping his team in Europe. During second half, when Djukaric already used all three substitutes, bringing Molina, Burzanovic and Milovanovic in, game changed pace and Zvezda took control. Delije were heavily breathing before Salas’ goal in 72nd minute which was just enough for easier last 20 minutes. This was first loss for Zvezda since September, 2nd when they lost on this stadium against Smederevo 1-0. In next round Crvena Zvezda will meet Toulouse. French team won 5-3 against home team Villarreal (6-5 on aggregate) after losing 3-0 in 60th minute. Andre-Pierre Gignac was hero as he scored 4 goals, just enough to get his team into next round.

Bore draw for Zvezda and Banat
Nothing much to say about this game, bore draw in which neither team created good scoring opportunity.

After 6 straight draws, Djukaric can finally enjoy in SuperLiga win. It was really easy match for Crvena Zvezda as they won 2-0 against high-flying Napredak Krusevac on Marakana. With lot of possession and large number of chances they should win with greater margin, but goals from Jestrovic and new addition to squad, Albin, were just enough to grab all three points. Juan Angel Albin really fitted in Zvezda, as he directed the show with goal and assist and was unlucky to miss two nice opportunities.

RTS – March, 6th
Live match coverage: Crvena Zvezda-Toulouse
Fantastic performance by both clubs in delirious atmosphere on Marakana. After only 80 seconds, fantastic double pass by Castillo and Milovanovic, Castillo dribbled past Mathieu and his crossed ended on Fenin’s head. Great shot for Czech forward who scored his 4th goal in Uefa Cup this season. Crvena Zvezda dictated tempo and had great share of possession during first half. However, Andre-Pierre Gignac managed to score after solo moves trough the middle in 21st minute. Three minutes later, in opposition box, Nenad Jestrovic twisted his ankle and first prognosis says he will be out for a month. His substitute was Hernan Barcos. Hard time for Zvezda, as they lost key striker, but Castillo continued fabulous show scoring screamer in 28th minute. Until half-time it was even game without chances and Delije were happy with scoreline. Milovanovic was already tired and with applauses he left game in 50th minute, when Mauricio Molina got in the game. After 7 minutes new shock for Djukaric as he lost Grzegorz Bronowicki due to injury. His replacement was Lorenzy who played very good in last 35 minutes of game. But, bad news are that Polish right back won’t play for next month or two, and Zvezda lost reliable wingback for toughest period of season. Gignac was so close to another goal in 75th, when he sent ball in net, but he was in offside when Emana sent perfect ball trough the middle. Last goal of game was seen in 79th minute. Perfect teamwork was crowned by well-placed Molina’s shot. Substitute managed to score and it will be easier for Crvena Zvezda in away leg. Quarter and semi finals draw will be made tomorrow in Nion, Switzerland. But, before quarter finals match, Serbian champions have to defend hard earned lead against 4th placed French team.

[i]SportKlub – March, 9th
Great performance by both Radisa Ilic and Vladimir Disljenkovic for draw
When city rivals met earlier today, everyone was expecting hard game with no real chances, but they were wrong. Loads of chances on both sides, and keepers together saved 24 shots on goal. Really impressive. Game was floating with quick tempo and great performances by both teams. Only time Radisa Ilic couldn’t save, was when Frode Kippe hitted bar in 57th minute. It was shot from over than 35 meters away from goal. It was obvious that Zvezda missed Jestrovic, as Barcos just couldn’t overplay Ilic. One of best games this season in Meridian SuperLiga.[/b]

Counter-attacking strategy seemed to work well for Red Star, as they snatched away 1-0 win, getting trough to quarter finals with aggregate result of 4-1. With even possession and same amount of chances, it was Barcos’ goal in 66th minute that finished this two-match game. Disljenkovic was once again superb saving everything, while defenders did their part for Red Star. Toulouse just couldn’t break trough, and when they managed to break defenders, goalkeeper was there to save the day. Red Star will play against Fiorentina in next round. Italian team has beaten Olympiakos 2-1 at Artemio Franchi and won round with 4-3 aggregate score.

What can we expect from Crvena Zvezda in Meridian SuperLiga? Only title with this kind of performances, but their strikes just aren’t enough to get important wins. Even they dominated game in Lucani, they couldn’t score and are miles away from expected SuperLiga form.

It bounced off Bajalica and finished into net. Delije were whistling as they thought Mutu was offside, but referee pointed to centre. Two minutes before end of half, Cacia scored another and violet team took the lead. During break Franklin Salas got opportunity and he used it. Everyone was thinking that match is over, when he placed great shot. It went into top right corner of Frey.

Can they give him better present for birthday? Vedran Djukaric can be really happy with great away win. Red Star dominated the match and will be heading towards semi finals. Fenin opened game with great strike in 3rd minute, but Cacia equalized just few minutes later. Serbian champions didn’t stop as they dictated pace of the game and were testing Frey’s abilities on several occasions. Screamer from 25 meters by Dejan Milovanovic ended in net, and Fenin’s second goal in 45th was just enough for fantastic lead after first half. Then, Djukaric decided to defend and counter-attack opponent, but cold shower for all Delije was in 3rd minute of second half as Cacia scored from offside position, but referee decided to allow that goal. Lot of opportunities on both sides, but both Frey and Disljenkovic were in form. It was hard and really tough game with 10 yellow cards, and referee sent off Liverani in 67th and Ujfalusi in 81st minute after hard tackles and awarded them with second yellow card.

J:I want to congratulate you for reaching semis of Uefa Cup.
VDj:Thanks a lot, it was great to hear referee’s whistle for end of match on Artemio Franchi. We are making history in this competition.
J:Yes, but you are struggling in SuperLiga. You’re squad seems to have two faces.
VDj:It is hard to explain, we’re playing same football in all competitions, but just don’t have luck to score in SuperLiga. I really hope that will change in future, so we can win domestic double, and who knows, treble is possible.
J:Is board of directors happy with Zvezda’s performances? Latest Stojkovic statement was that they want SuperLiga trophy, not hunting for glory in European competitions.
VDj:Nah, you’re not right. When I spoke to Stojkovic he was really happy with team and our performances and he would be delighted if we could reach final match of Uefa Cup.
J:You are still fighting on three battlefields, can you pay price and finish second in all of them?
VDj:It’s possible, but my players are ready to conquer Serbian double and we won’t let Partizan take any of trophies available. We will see what will happen, but I’m 100% confident that this squad is made to write history.
J:You’ve made really good squad. Fenin is playing great lately, and so is Disljenkovic, what are you’re next moves in transfer period.
VDj:First, we have to finish this season, and then we can talk about transfers.
J:But, you are in real need of new backup striker.
VDj:Why, with Jestrovic, Fenin, Barcos and others we can do just fine in next season.
J:We’ve seen this season…
VDj:What have we seen? Inability to convert chances in SuperLiga? So what, I’m happy with their performances.
J:You don’t seem nervous about rest of season.
VDj:Why should I? Crvena Zvezda is on road to glory.
J:Thank you for interview.

Despite taking early lead, Crvena Zvezda, just couldn’t take at least one point in Cukarica, where home team won 2-1 with goals by Popovic and Marjanovic late in first half.

Formation 5-1-2-0 didn’t helped as they conceded 5 goals. Scorers were Diego Milito twice, Matuzalem, Sergio Garcia and Oscar and 3 of these goals came in injury times of first and second half. Embarassing result for Serbian champion who will probably send reserves to Spain for re-match.
