Red Star Belgrade celebrated a historic victory over Stuttgart in the Champions League, marking their first win in five years in the competition. The match started with Stuttgart taking the lead in the fourth minute with a goal from Ermedin Demirovic. However, the tide turned when Silas, playing against his parent club after being sent on loan to Red Star, scored a stunning solo goal to equalize.
The momentum shifted towards Red Star when Rade Krunic found the back of the net from close range in the 31st minute, putting the hosts in the lead. Mirko Ivanic then extended their advantage with a well-placed header in the second half. The dream night for Red Star continued as Nemanja Radonjic, a substitute, scored on the break in the 69th minute, adding another goal to their tally two minutes from time.
This victory was a significant milestone for Red Star, who had previously struggled in the Champions League, losing all four of their previous matches in the league phase this season. Their last triumph in the competition dated back to October 2019 when they defeated Olympiacos 3-1.
