MOSCOW - Red Star Belgrade are out of the UEFA Europa League after Wednesday's 1-0 away defeat to CSKA Moscow in the Round of 32 of the competition.

BELGRADE - Red Star Belgrade drew 0-0 with CSKA Moscow at home in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 32 on Tuesday.

In front of 35,642 spectators at the Rajko Mitic Stadium, CSKA dominated posession and threatened to score through Vitinho and Ahmed Musa, but Red Star had the two best opportunities of the game, magnificently denied by CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev.

BELGRADE - Red Star Belgrade will host CSKA Moscow at a packed Rajko Mitic Stadium in the Europa League Round of 32 after the UEFA decided on Monday to accept the club's appeal against a stadium ban.

The UEFA appeals body accepted the arguments of Red Star's legal team after the club had already sold 28,000 tickets for the match against CSKA.

The resigned executive director of CSKA Aleksandar Todorov submitted on Monday the appeal of the club against the decision of the Bulgarian Football Union (BFS) to revoke its licence.

The Appeal Committee of BFS will now review the new documentation, which was submitted by CSKA, and will have until June 1 to deliver an opinion on the decision to revoke the licence.
