Red Star footballers have already won the Summer Tournament in Russia, but the match with Tagliares was a kind of dress rehearsal before the start of the season, which is scheduled for July 20 at 8 p.m., when we will welcome Unity from Ub at the Maracana.

The guests quickly took the lead when, in the second minute, Martinez got in front of Gutesa and beat him. Puma nearly leveled the score in the next attack. He dribbled past the opponent's left back, entered the middle from the right flank and shot just past the post. Hwang created a chance for Endiaye in the 11th minute when he sent the ball behind the defense, and our center forward shot over the crossbar. Zvezda threatened constantly, and four minutes later, Hwang properly harassed Herrera after a corner, who sent the ball over the crossbar with the utmost effort. Endiaje hit the opponent's net in the 17th minute after a pass from Mijailović, but the referee signaled offside.

There was constant play in front of the Tagliares goal, and Zvezda wanted a quick equalizer, so Hwang almost caught Herrera on the "wrong" leg in the 23rd minute, but it didn't happen, and the shot from 20 meters ended up in the goalkeeper's arms rival. The Zvezda players tried several more times from distance, while the rival focused on counterattacks. In those strong attacks of our team, Portillo simply got too carried away and earned a red card at the end of the first part of the game. However, considering that the match is of a friendly nature, a change was made instead of the excluded player, so the situation on the field was still equal.

The picture on the field did not change much in the continuation of the match, given that Zvezda attacked with the intention of winning the dress rehearsal, and that the conditional guests played an ever-increasing "bunker". Katai and Jovanović combined in the 64th minute immediately after entering the field, but Magico headed over the goal. Ilić also blushed in the ranks of Zvezda, so Knežević was on the field in the last 20 minutes.

It was calm until the end of the match, but a large number of young players got the opportunity to impose themselves on coach Milojević.
