With the last 3 games, the first playoff matches for the UCL group stage are finished as Red Star Belgrade along with Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos are one match away from the group stage.
Greek recorders Olympiakos trashed the Russian team Krasnodar with 4-0, making the second leg an impossible mission for Krasnodar next week. Lazar Randjelovic was the key player for the Greeks after scoring twice in the second half in 78th and 86th minute, making it 3-0 before Daniel Podence finished the job in the 89th to make it 4-0.
Red Star managed to hold off Swiss champions Young Boys by earning a tough 2-2 draw. Young Boys opened the score first, through Roger Assale early in the 7th minute. Milos Degenek leveled the score in the 18th minute, giving Red Star their much-needed away goal. The Serbians overturned the score just one minute into the 2nd half through Mateo Garcia. In the 76th minute, Boakye fouled Ngamaleu in the box, allowing the hosts to equalize to 2-2 from the penalty point through Guillaume Hoarau.
Dinamo also beat Rosenborg with 2-0, scoring all goals in the first 30 minutes, leaving the Norwegians without a chance for a positive result.
