On the road in Istanbul, Crvena zvezda mts have beaten Galatasaray and grabbed a first pair of points in the elite European club competition this season.
Crvena zvezda mts are celebrating their first Euroleague win this season and they have done it with style – on the road in Istanbul against Galatasaray after a sloppy start and already being behind by 13 points in the opening quarter of the game.
Dejan Radonjić's side have returned into the battle for two points in the second 10-minute period of the game, when they have eliminated the advantage of the home side, took a 13 point lead themselves by 26th minute, but let the opponent threathen them again in the end.
However, everything turned out well in the end, as the Belgrade's red and white have won with the final score of 85:83 and it was Marko Simonović who led them in scoring with 23 points. Stefan Jović followed him with 14.
