Crvena Zvezda has been eliminated from the third qualifying round of the 2026/2027 Champions League after a disappointing evening in Belgrade. The Serbian national champion lost on home soil with clear scores to the Israeli Hapoel Be'er Sheva: 0-2. This put an end to the European adventure of the Belgrade team, which failed to score a single goal against the Israelis in two matches.
It was a match in which Hapoel Be'er Sheva showed its maturity and efficiency. After a first half in which both teams had their defense in good order, the visitors struck after the break. On the hour mark it was Israeli striker Igor Zlatanovic who broke the spell: in the 61st minute he outwitted the Crvena Zvezda keeper and gave Hapoel a deserved 0-1 lead.
The challenge became even greater for the home club when coach Dejan Stankovic was sent to the stands four minutes earlier, in the 57th minute, after a red card due to comments on the arbitration. With one man less it became even more difficult for Crvena Zvezda to force something offensively.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva took full advantage of the resulting space and secured the win in the 79th minute. This time Javon East was accurate and set the final score at 0-2. With this victory, the Israeli team will advance to the Champions League play-offs with full confidence. Hapoel won over two matches with a convincing 3-0 aggregate.
The play-offs, the last obstacle before the group stage of the billion dollar ball, will be played with the first legs on August 18-19 and the returns on August 25-26. After this elimination, Crvena Zvezda may still participate in the Europa League qualification. Hapoel Be'er Sheva can now prepare for a new double meeting that entitles them to a place in the main tournament of the Champions League.
This shutdown is a big onesetback for Crvena Zvezda, which wants to show itself in the group stage of a European tournament every season. For Israeli football, Hapoel's win represents a welcome boost and possibly another team in the lucrative group stage of the Champions League.
What's happening now
Hapoel Be'er Sheva advance to the Champions League play-offs, where they can further increase their chances of participating in the group stage. The next matches in this round are scheduled for August 18-19 and August 25-26. It is now crucial for Crvena Zvezda to regroup and prepare for the rest of the season.
