EuroLeague: Crvena zvezda mts suffer defeat vs. Fenerbahce Beko

Despite putting up a very good overall performance, Crvena zvezda mts were defeated against Fenerbahce Beko on the road in the opening round of the 2021/22 EuroLeague regular season.

The red-and-whites had to play this game with just 8 men as several key players are still sidelined due to injuries, but even with such a short roster the Belgrade troops were a worthy opponent to the Turkish giant. Zvezda presented some top-class defensive performance and if they had been just a bit better offensively they might have won this match.

The key moments of this game happened with less than 3 minutes left on the game clock, when Fenerbahce Beko made the decisive 5:0 run to increase their lead to 56:49.

Nikola Ivanović was the top scorer in Crvena zvezda mts team with 16 points, while Nikola Kalinić made 9 points and 9 rebounds.
