Red Star showed last night that it belongs in the Champions League, as evidenced by the statistical parameters that show that the result in the match against Benfica could have gone the other way, because our team was better in almost everything.
The football players of our team lacked luck, experience, and concentration, there is no doubt, but the impression is that the goals from Benfica were conceded cheaply, which was also discussed by the head of the coaching staff, Vladan Milojević. If we look at the statistical parameters, the match went much more to Zvezda.
Ball possession: Zvezda (55 percent) - Benfica (45 percent)
Big chances: Zvezda (1) - Benfica (1)
Total shots: Zvezda (15) - Benfica (10)
Shots on goal: Zvezda (3) - Benfica (3)
Corners: Zvezda (7) - Benfica (1)
Additions: Zvezda (384) - Benfica (299)
Duels: Zvezda (37) - Benfica (37)
Dribbles: Zvezda (16) - Benfica (8)
The only segments in which Benfica were better were the defensive ones, which confirms the thesis that Zvezda attacked more, and that the defenders of the Portuguese team had more work to do. Thus, Benfica had 18 starts, and 11 intercepted balls to Zvezda's 12, or nine. Intervention in the penalty area, Benfica even had 32, and Zvezda 14.
This will be a big school for Vladan Milojević's players, but it has been shown once again that Red Star have a place in the Champions League.
