Red Star Belgrade have all but closed the UEFA Europa League playoffs tie against Cluj after a demolishing 4-0 victory over the Romanians seven days ago in Belgrade.
The return fixture of this tie is only a formality after Red Star’s clinical display in the 4-0 drubbing of the Romanian champions last week in Belgrade.
The team led by the former Lazio and Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic thus made amends for a surprising UEFA Champions League elimination against Sheriff Tiraspol in the third qualifying round (1-2 on aggregate).
Red Star looked powerful and ruthless in the final third in front of the home crowd at Stadion Rajko Mitic.
Milan Pavkov, Aleksandar Katai, El Fardou Ben, and Mirko Ivanic were all on the scoreline on the occasion.
Cluj can thus only try and fix the impression here because it is very unlikely to expect them to overturn such a massive deficit against such a strong opposition right now.
After all, Red Star Belgrade regularly featured the group phase of the two elite continental competitions in the last several years.




译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

贝尔格莱德红星队7天前在贝尔格莱德4-0大胜罗马尼亚队，几乎结束了与克鲁日的欧联杯季后赛比赛。
在红星上周在贝尔格莱德4-0击败罗马尼亚冠军后，这场比赛的回归只是一个形式。
这支由前拉齐奥国米中场德扬·斯坦科维奇率领的球队弥补了在欧洲冠军联赛资格赛第三轮被蒂拉斯波尔淘汰的意外(总比分1-2)。
在米蒂奇球场的主场观众面前，红星在最后三分之一的比赛中显得强势而无情。
米兰·帕夫科夫、亚历山大·卡泰、艾尔·法杜·本和米尔科·伊万诺奇都在比赛中得分。
因此，克鲁日只能试着修补这种印象，因为现在不太可能指望他们在如此强大的对手面前扭转如此巨大的赤字。
毕竟，在过去几年里，贝尔格莱德红星俱乐部经常在这两场欧洲顶级赛事的小组赛中亮相。
